Inspectors found rodent droppings, mouldy food and restricted substances at a Cardiff shop. Environmental health officers visiting the Dragon Supermarket at Wholesale Fruit Centre on Bessemer Road, Leckwith, saw a pallet of rice contaminated with rodent urine and rodent faeces.
The inspection in August 2021 also noticed gaps which "allowed access into the premises by pests". A Cardiff Council spokesman said: "There was no water supply to the premises for cleaning or for the maintenance of personal hygiene."
The shop, managed by 41-year-old Yu Liang Chen, was supplying products of animal origin to another business without approval. It was also failing to follow its own food safety management procedures.
