Two reputed health food restaurants were shut down by city inspectors late Tuesday after more than 1,000 mouse droppings were found at the side-by-side eateries.
Mayor Daley's Dumpster Task Force visited the 200 block of East 75th Street Tuesday to follow up on complaints of garbage and rodent activity, according to a release from the Department of Streets and Sanitation, which operates the task force.
When those complaints didn’t pan out, inspectors paid a visit to the Soul Vegeterian East restaurant at 205 E. 75th and found more than 700 mice droppings. They also went next door to the Eternity Juice Bar and found more than 300 mice droppings. Both businesses shared a common food storage area where additional droppings were found, the release said.

LOL, guess I won't be taking my vegan and vegetarian friends there.
ReplyDeleteBut on a serious note, this is one of my criticisms of CBA. They can have experts come out and give seminars to the restaurants in our community on sanitation and safe food handling.
1000 mice droppings? wow.
ReplyDeletedid the city inspectors work overtime to count them? i agree with worlee statement but i think food establisment owners bears most of the responsibility and must train all thier personal on sanitation and safe food handling.
