Stourbridge food hygiene prosecution

Jay Indian House Ltd, the company operating Jay Indian House, 84 Hagley Road, Stourbridge, has been fined £10,000 following a prosecution brought by Dudley Council for multiple food safety offences.

Its director, Mr Jahaingir Hussain, was also fined £1600 together with £3836 costs, with a 16-day custodial sentence in default of non-payment of the fine.

The company and director had previously entered guilty pleas at Dudley Magistrates’ Court on 16 April 2025, where the District Judge committed the case to the Wolverhampton Crown Court, for sentence. The case was heard at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 11 September 2025.

During the inspection visit on 19 July 2023, officers discovered a rat in the ground floor food storeroom. Rat droppings were found in both the ground floor and first-floor food storerooms.

There was a large accumulation of waste in the rear yard, pest proofing was inadequate, and the food safety management system was not being properly implemented. Due to the immediate risk to public health, the council exercised emergency powers under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013.
