At Woolwich Crown Court on 27 April 2016, Michael Adedipe, representing Ades Limited, was fined £60,000 for multiple food hygiene and health and safety breaches, including the storage of mouldy fish and other food products unfit for human consumption.
Mr. Adedipe was also found guilty of running an illegal fish processing business within one of his premises.
In December 2014, Royal Borough of Greenwich Officers discovered an unauthorised fish processing and packaging business operating within a run-down building in Charlton. Royal Borough Environmental Health Officers swooped on the business after it was found that they were supplying products across Europe illegally and in very poor sanitary conditions.
