Yasin Nabi, who ran the chippy on Fenside Road until March this year, admitted it failed to meet “basic standards of cleanliness and hygiene” over several months in 2022.
He pleaded guilty to various food hygiene offenses at Boston Magistrates’ Court, including breaching the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Act 2013.
The former owner was banned from operating a food business and now faces a huge four-figure fine of £2,972.
Councilor Callum Butler, portfolio holder for environment, said: “The public has the right to expect safe food, and we as a council work hard to protect health and wellbeing residents of Boston.
“This case reinforces the message that we will not hesitate to pursue food companies that demonstrate a disregard for the safety of their customers – food safety standards exist for a reason.
“The ban order should serve as a warning to other food businesses that we will use every means at our disposal to keep our residents safe.”
