Liverpool café fined for mouse infestation and food safety breaches

Summarised from Liverpool Echo's report · Updated 6 Nov, 19:24 · Archive

A Liverpool café was closed after inspectors found a live mouse behind a cooker and widespread hygiene violations.

Corner Café on Prescot Road in Fairfield was immediately closed after Liverpool Council's Environmental Health Officers discovered extensive hygiene violations during inspections last year. A live mouse was found behind a cooker in the kitchen, with mouse droppings discovered throughout the café on and beneath cooking equipment and in direct contact with food. The café was awarded the lowest possible food hygiene rating of zero.

The café pleaded guilty to 12 breaches of food safety and hygiene regulations. Officers found the business was not taking sufficient steps to address the pest infestation despite remaining open to the public. A follow-up inspection in November found further droppings, accumulated grease within the premises, food debris behind equipment, and food almost a week out of date.
