Mouse droppings were found throughout the premises of a disgusting Merseyside takeaway.
Inspectors awarded a one star hygiene rating after finding mouse droppings in the food preparation and washing up area, on shelves, on the floor near the fridge, in the fridge’s ‘motor area’ and in many other parts of the premises. 🐭
After the inspection, the takeaway closed for a couple of days to conduct a deep clean before reopening as normal.
The report said “dirty conditions” and “spillages of food” gave mice an alternative source of food to bait laid down by the takeaway’s pest contractors.
A “build-up of dirt, grease and debris” was found in all areas of the premises.
For example, chopping boards, used in connection with ready to eat foods, were found stored in a rack which was on a dirty, greasy shelf with mouse droppings evident.
In one of the takeaway’s kitchen cupboards “nesting material” was found in addition to mouse droppings.
As well as dirty surfaces, some fixtures and fittings needed pest proofing. There were gaps in the pipework which were large enough for rodents to get in.
👉 Make sure your business is pest protected!
