    A mice-infested café in Manchester has been fined more than £14,000.

    Council health inspectors uncovered a host of food safety violations at a café in Gorton.

    Wong Wong Bakery Limited, owners of Wong Wong Café and Bakery, was fined £12,000 for six separate food safety offences and ordered to pay costs of over £2000 at Manchester Magistrates Court.

    On a routine food safety inspection Manchester City Council’s Environmental Health team revealed serious issues, such as evidence of mice activity as well as greasy and dirty conditions.

    Mouse faeces were found in the serving and kitchen areas and in the washing up area.

    Following the inspection the company agreed to voluntarily close the business until such time as the infestation was under control and the cleaning standards and food safety practices were improved.
