Health Fines

Regrettably, we did not meet our goal this year of zero health fines or prosecutions. The table below outlines the health fines for this period. Note: Fines reported may relate to incidents that occurred in previous years.

Escondida Base Metals Fine for two food items that had passed their expiry date 23,530
