Combating rodent menace in your food business

One of the worst nightmares for guests has been an experience of food poisoning after eating in a restaurant or some other hospitality facility. The price a restaurateur pays for not taking care of hygiene and cleanliness of a hospitality facility is very expensive.

Food hygiene ratings have a greater impact over a diner’s choice of venue than customer service.

Shiny cooker hoods, stain-free carpets, clean kitchen areas, eating and dining areas, washrooms, and beautiful exteriors – a lot goes into maintaining a hygienic restaurant that’s always busy with customers and staff.

An abundant amount of food availability, improper sanitation, leftover food, are the reasons why the pests enter a restaurant.

It’s the duty of the restaurant manager to ensure the health and wellbeing of both customers and staff. Without proper hygiene and cleanliness policy in place, a restaurant runs the risk of failing health and safety inspections, contravening compliance laws and falling out of favor with its patrons.

There are numerous instances where restaurants have been closed due to pest infestations and failure to health and safety inspections..

Let us have a look at the news reported for same.

HEALTH inspectors were shocked to find rotting rats, mouse poo and mouldy food inside a string of takeaways.

Revolting images show the grim discoveries at a chippy, a Chinese and two caterers – which were so filthy they had to be shut down.

15The London outlets were also fined thousands of pounds for “serious food hygiene breaches”.

Waltham Forest Council shared the shocking images from its various food hygiene inspections last month.

Disgusting images show the corpse of a heavily decomposed rat found at the back of Sea Breeze fish and chip shop in Woodford Green, North East London.

Other photos show mouldy bread rolls for sale, animal droppings, and gnawed cables inside the freezer.

During the inspection on July 17, council staff also found an inadequate supply of soap by the kitchen basin meaning “staff were not cleaning their hands properly when serving customers”.

The company was fined £845 at Thames Magistrate Court on July 24 and ordered to close immediately.

Rat in hotpot shocks pregnant woman, shuts down restaurant in eastern China

A man from Weifang surnamed Ma said he and his family were eating at the restaurant on Thursday night when, after a few bites, his wife found a dead rat in the soup.

Shanghai-based Kankan News quoted Ma as saying that restaurant staff had told him: “If you are worried about the baby, then we’ll give you 20,000 yuan (US$3,000) to abort it.”

The woman said she was halfway through her dinner when she found quite a few white worms in the soup. She immediately called restaurant staff who told her they were high protein and swallowed a worm to show her. There were no reports on whether authorities had intervened.

Use of mechanical traps and glue boards is common. But are they effective? The mechanical trap no longer works after an occurrence of mechanical error, while the glue boards are more dangerous when humans and pets are around. Pest control is absolutely dangerous due to their side effects. The toxic chemicals are extremely hazardous to be used near food preparation areas.
