Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 18:32 · Archive

A Huddersfield supermarket's butcher and bakery have reopened after being closed following a cockroach infestation.

The butcher and bakery at Umrah Supermarket on Trinity Street in Huddersfield town centre were ordered to close by Kirklees Council following a routine food hygiene inspection on 9 October 2026. The inspection found a cockroach infestation which the inspector described as an 'imminent risk to health'.

Before reopening, the business owner was required to appoint a professional pest control service, undertake a deep clean of the premises and address any structural issues contributing to the infestation. The supermarket has now fully reopened after completing these steps. A supermarket spokesperson said the closure lasted only one day.

Kirklees Council confirmed the supermarket has reopened and said officers will continue to work with the business owner and carry out regular checks to ensure the premises remains safe for the public.
