Three Waipā food premises have been issued with improvement notices since October and two in Te Awamutu ordered to close because of unsafe food practices.
The other in Leamington was allowed to remain open.

And an unregistered mobile food business has also been issued with two infringement notices from Waipā District Council.
The notices were issued due to hygiene, food storage and related concerns.
The names of the outlets have been withheld as doing so would “unreasonably prejudice their commercial position,” said manager Karl Tutty.
Tutty said one of the Te Awamutu premises had now complied with the improvement notice and reopened, the other was working through the requirements.
All food businesses must be registered under the Food Act and have a Food Control Plan or a National Programme.
