Warehouse shut after mice found - Leicester Mercury
A wholesale food business was shut for two days after health inspectors found it was infested with mice.
Environmental health inspectors ordered Fast Food Wholesale to shut after a routine visit discovered gnawed bags of flour, dried food and mouse-droppings throughout the building on Tuesday.
However, Leicester magistrates heard on Thursday that the owner had since tackled the problems and they allowed the business, in Bradgate Street, off Blackbird Road, Leicester, to reopen.
Describing what he found during the initial visit to the court, environmental health officer David Howard said: "On the shelving in the middle of the warehouse, mouse droppings were found on and besides sacks of flour.
"There were droppings on the floor under the flour, chicken breading mix and batter mix. A sack of pizza flour was found to be gnawed.
"Further along and under this row of shelves there was a dead mouse. Another dead mouse was found the other side of the shelves.
"The warehouse in general was disorganised, cluttered and untidy.
"It was not possible to inspect all of it due to poorly managed stock and redundant equipment.
"In several areas, damaged stock, typically bags of flour, had been left. This provided ideal feeding opportunities for mice."
The city council's environmental health team issued a Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notice on Tuesday.
Mr Howard told company secretary Armadip Singh that he needed to take immediate action to solve the problems.
He revisited the premises on Thursday. He told the court: "When I returned I found that the advice had been followed.
"Damaged stock had been taken away and Mr Singh had carried out disinfecting and cleaning and organised further pest-control treatment.
"There were some droppings left but they were there before.
"Mr Singh worked really hard and the risk to public health was no longer present."
Singh told the court trouble had started when he took over the business from his brother.
"The van broke down, the freezer broke down. I was losing money every week and had to lay workers off. It was just chaos," he said.
The magistrates said Mr Howard had correctly issued the prohibition notice and allowed the business to reopen.
They ordered Singh to pay £535.47 costs to the council.
