Court order. Deli workers were found by Public Health Officials to be serving food without valid health certificates. Rat sheet was also found on the shelves in the store which is operating without a valid sanitation certificate.
The Magistate, Susan Sylvester, added during the proceedings that SHE personally saw evidence of cockroaches and rats at the store.
The prosecutor for the Ministry of Health told the court that NO reasonable effort had been made between visits from officials on Monday and tuesday, as rat droppings are still present in the store and that he regards the status of the locale as UNACCEPTABLE!!
The lawyer/shark for the store lobbied for the Deli to remain open arguing that the supermarket chain can shift workers from other stores who have valid certificates.
It was also revealed in court by the ministry's prosecutor that the last valid health certificate for the Deli workers of which he was aware expired in May and applications for updated certificates were only made after the health order was issued.:realmad:
