Blacktown restaurants and cafes named and shamed for breaches

From dirty kitchens to disgusting pests, these are the Blacktown eateries which have been named and shamed with penalty notices in the last year.

Food Authority inspectors have been busy in the Blacktown region in the last 12 months with a number of eateries and stores handed penalty notices.

Sehaj Indian Foods and Sweets had two fines in the space of three months for separate offences across two different stores.

A rib house, bakeries and bubble tea store were among the others to be pulled up for offences.
