The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) announced on Wednesday that there were nine closure orders and one prohibition order served on food businesses during the month of February for breaches of food safety legislation such as cross-contamination due to the condition of the staff toilet and a dead rodent found near a kitchen.
Five of the enforcement orders were issued for premises in Dublin including a popular grocery store and café on Capel Street, Super Asia Food and White Rabbit Café, which was ordered to close due to an "active rodent infestation".
The inspector found "rodent droppings" and saw “gaps and possible entry points for rodents”.
