Rodent droppings found throughout Squirrel Hill bagel shop hit with consumer alert, report says
A deli in Squirrel Hill known for its homemade bagels was hit with a consumer alert for violations found during an inspection.
The Allegheny County Health Department issued the alert for The Bagel Factory, located at 5881 Forbes Avenue, on Friday.
According to a report, health inspectors found two high-risk violations and numerous low-risk violations.
The high-risk violations are for cleaning and sanitation and pest management. The report states inspectors found rodent droppings on food contact surfaces and throughout the business, live mice on a glue trap in the bakery and nesting material behind the ice machine and display cases. These violations are considered repeat violations.
Some of the lower-risk violations highlighted in the report include cold food held at unsafe temperatures, encrusted food debris on non-food contact surfaces, holes in several walls and “excessive clutter” throughout the building.
The Bagel Factory will be reinspected on May 20.
