🚨 Shocking Hygiene Breach in Tonypandy! 🚨
Bins were overflowing outside a shocking shop in Tonypandy serving up burgers and hotdogs without a working fridge. The owner, Veliah Muraleethara, was caught running not one, but THREE food establishments with appalling hygiene standards.
The kitchen at Sherwood Stores was found to be in such a state that it posed a “significant risk to the public,” according to the council. No sink in sight, broken fridges trying to store ‘high risk’ foods, and dirty conditions that make your stomach churn! 😷
Cooking without temperature checks, no food hygiene training for staff, and stockpiling waste around the premises were just a few of the shocking findings revealed during the council inspection. This led to a strict prohibition from operating any food business in Wales!
Councillor Bob Harris emphasised the dire need for keeping up with food hygiene standards: “If a shop sells food in our County Borough, they have a responsibility to ensure the goods they sell are safe for customers to consume.”
This eye-opening case sends a strong message: fail to comply with food safety regulations, and you will face serious consequences. Protecting the health and wellbeing of residents and visitors is a priority, and this shop fell far short. Let’s all support clean and safe food outlets for the sake of our community! 🍽️👨👩👦
Stay informed, stay safe! 🫶
