Kitchen police officers closed several companies due to cockroaches, lack of hot water

Huntsville, ala. (Waff) – It was an incredibly busy week for kitchen police officers across Northern Alabama. Several companies had to temporarily close and we saw some of the wildest violations of the summer listed.

We'll start Dekalb CountyWhere Toros Cantina & Grill was closed on July 10th because of a cockroach infestation. This is according to the ADPH -Clodings Tracker. The DES Ministry of Health at DEKALB County did not score a score for Toro this week. Toro's latest inspection was on March 27th when she acquired a very respectable 94. We contacted the DEKALB County Ministry of Health to get more information. In the meantime, Toro's social media pages say that the building will go through a maintenance and will be reopened on Monday, July 21st.

The Panera bread on the Highway 72 in Athens was closed on July 16 due to problems with water pressure problems that did not make the toilets functional. We expect more information on this topic next week.

The GP Quick Stop in Highway 72 and the Hine Street in Athens had some significant violations this week, but still managed to examine with a score of 80. The inspectors found cockroaches in several areas, no paper towels or soap wash basins and toilets as well as food without date markings. The report also shows that there was rotting meat and several foods either shape or from the temperature in a portable cooler. The health department gave a “conviction” and all the objects involved were thrown away. We contacted our contact in the Limestone County to get more information about the conviction and we will update this story as soon as we hear back.
