🚨 Heads up! Morrisons has found itself in hot water over food hygiene issues in one of its Welsh stores. The supermarket chain admitted to several offences following a routine inspection at its bakery in Cwmbran. This inspection in August 2024 uncovered serious concerns, resulting in an immediate closure for a deep clean. It was revealed that the store failed to maintain cleanliness, supervise staff properly, and follow safety management protocols. 🧼
Cwmbran’s bakery initially received a shocking food hygiene rating of one, pointing to the urgent need for major improvements. After addressing these issues, a later reinspection in October 2024 saw the store upgraded to a much-improved rating of four. 🎉
Councillor Mandy Owen from Torfaen Council highlighted the significance of food safety checks, saying they are crucial in safeguarding public health and reducing NHS burdens. Torfaen Council isn’t hesitant to act when consumer health is at risk, demonstrating their commitment to food safety and consumer wellbeing. 👩⚖️
The case will move forward with a sentencing hearing at Newport Magistrates’ Court on May 7. Stay tuned for further updates! 💼
