Cricket bats are not stirring spoons
South Shropshire Journals reports that rat droppings, a cricket bat used to stir vats of curry sauce which was later gnawed by rats, and various holes used by the pests were found at a Chinese restaurant in Knighton.
Inspectors found evidence of rat activity at the Mandarin House Take-away at 50 Market Street when they carried out routine checks on March 5 last year.
On Friday, Chun-Hung Cheung was fined a total of £2,000 and ordered to pay £500 costs and a £15 victim surcharge after admitting five charges under the Food Hygiene (Wales) Regulations 2006.
Staff butchering deer leads to closure of Chinese restaurant
“In general, you can’t have a dead animal in a food services establishment.”
That’s the advice from Erie County Health Commissioner Dr. Anthony J. Billittier IV after a dead deer was discovered being butchered in a restaurant.
The Buffalo News in New York reports the discovery was made after a tipster called the Health Department.
A health inspector was quickly sent to the restaurant, which was immediately closed. A hearing on the matter is expected to be held early next week.
Officials don’t know whether the dead deer at China King, 5999 South Park Ave., had been hunted or if it was road kill.
