“These conditions, along with evidence of a heavy mouse infestation, left the environmental health officers with little option other than to immediately close the business and apply to the magistrates for a Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Order.”
The inspection resulted in Yorkshire Pizza being rated as zero on the food hygiene rating scheme. Environmental health officers will now work with the owner to ensure satisfactory improvements are made quickly.
All businesses should now be displaying new certificates and stickers with a rating between zero to five.

“I agree with Col18, you don't know what you're getting with your kebab or pizza (and I don't mean horsemeat). Best to buy fresh and make at home, at least you'll know what's going in your food. For those who enjoy their take-aways, random health inspections should be carried out on a more regular basis, if only to keep these take-away owners on their toes.”

“How do we know the mouse was really a mouse?
I hope they tested for horse DNA.”
