The penalties related to cleanliness, failing to store food properly including under temperature control, and failing to have adequately trained staff in charge of food handling.

Meanwhile, Canterbury Bankstown LGA had the highest number of establishments breaching food safety standards within a single council area, with three during September.

That included Supa IGA in Georges Hill, Hong Phat Bakery in Campsie, and Street Food Asia in Roselands.
