Cockroach scare forces closure of Indian takeaway
in UK
London:
Health inspectors have shut down an Indian takeaway
after a customer found a live cockroach in their food.
The Mogul Tandoori, in Cirencester, Gloucestershire,
was infested with insects, and Cotswold District Council's
Environmental Health Officers immediately shut it
down on Sunday. The council's Public Protection Team
visited The Mogul on Monday. It found poor hygiene
standards as well as live and dead cockroaches. A
Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Order ensuring The Mogul
remains shut has now been granted at Cheltenham Magistrates'
Court. “This is the worst cockroach infestation I
have seen and was enough to result in a significant
risk of contamination of food,” said senior specialist
environmental health officer Amanda Morgan Public
protection manager Kate Bishop said: "The action taken
by the officers to formally close the business was
not taken lightly, but it was necessary. Once the
infestation is under control, the premises will be
able to open again."
