Inside the grotty takeaway where unsealed raw chicken was stored near cooked kebabs
takeaway riddled with contamination risks including open packs of raw chicken in the freezer and fridge has been hit with a hefty legal bill following a court prosecution.Food inspectors from Blackpool Council were called to TFC on Highfield Road last August and found a series of hygiene breaches which left customers exposed to "extremely serious consequences".They discovered open containers of raw chicken in the fridge and freezers "giving rise to the risk of cross-contamination of harmful food poisoning bacteria".The premises were found to be dirty throughout and in need of a deep clean. Allergen contamination risks were also discovered whereby bread buns containing sesame seeds were open and shedding seeds which could 'pose a safety risk to those with either an allergy to sesame or dairy'.A council spokesperson said: "It was evident that the business had not been cleaned down from the previous day, with a full bin, dirty utensils and dirty cooking equipment that had not yet been put to use that day, Lancs Live reported."There was an accumulation of rubbish and unused equipment to the rear yard.
