Vegan cafe and popular restaurant among Dublin businesses forced to close over rodent issues last month
Evidence of rodents and rodent droppings, filthy smells, and the discovery of suspected pool of blood have been amongst the reasons for the enforcement orders served on Irish food businesses in 2019.
The report said the vegan cafe had "evidence of rodent activity throughout the area to the front of the premises".The inspector detailed holes in the cafe that allowed pests to get in and noted that a mouse was spotted running along a skirting board while they were there. It said: "Significant amount of rodent droppings were noted in two cavity wall openings in the basement storage room. There is direct access from the basement to the kitchen area.
"They are served on food businesses only when a serious risk to consumer health has been identified or where there are a number of ongoing breaches of food legislation that could cause serious hygiene or other operational issues. Dr Byrne added: “It is highly disconcerting that some food business owners are still failing to comply with food safety standards and their legal obligations that have been set to ensure the safety of their customers.
