Eight Irish Food Businesses Closed for Violations

Cafe Lavie in Boca Raton was temporarily closed due to 13 health violations, including active rodent activity and the presence of flying insects, but has since reopened. In Ireland, eight food businesses received closure orders in August for breaches of food safety laws, notably due to rodent infestations and inadequate hygiene. Both the Jazz Chinese Restaurant and Freshly Chopped & Neat Pizza were shut down for similar rodent issues, with droppings found in multiple areas of their kitchens. Additionally, serious health risks were identified at Al Huda Grocery due to dead cockroaches and insufficient handwashing facilities. The ongoing Boar's Head deli meat recall has resulted in nine deaths linked to Listeria contamination, prompting health officials to urge consumers to avoid affected products. Food safety authorities emphasize the importance of maintaining high standards to prevent such incidents.
