Saffron Indian takeaway in Creeslough, Co. Donegal was forced to close in October
A report from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland detailed the exact non-compliances, noting: “Human excrement was overflowing and ponding in an area beside the shed in which the potato peeler was located due to an overflowing manhole.”
Furthermore, the report alleged that employees in the restaurant would be standing in the excrement while handling food equipment, thereby carrying the excrement into the restaurant on their shoes.
As such, Saffron was served with a closure order for “grave and immediate danger to public health” on its premises.
There were other non-compliances detailed in the report, including the presence of dead flies in oil used to baste pizza dough.
The report can be read in full here.
