Rodent droppings were reportedly found on the stainless steel rims of ovens at a school meals kitchen in Timahoe, Co Laois, prompting a closure order against the site used by Irish provider The Lunch Bag.
Inspectors are understood to have identified droppings on food-contact surfaces and inside cupboards at the Timahoe operation, which prepares meals for schoolchildren. The reported findings raised concerns about pest control, cleaning standards and the protection of food from contamination.
