22 food standards breaches — including the presence of maggots and cockroaches — have been recorded by Adelaide’s Eastern Health Authority for the 2018/19 financial year.
However a Freedom of Info request to reveal business names has been rejected.
According to The Advertiser:
Consumer groups say the public deserves to know more about the breaches, which include instances of:
LIVE maggots found at a food business;
TWO restaurants infested by cockroaches;
BREAD being made on the floor of a bakery;
VERMIN in a bakery;
A piece of metal in a meat roll at a food business.
The EHA isn’t naming names because it says it would not be fair to reveal businesses that have since cleaned up their acts.
The EHA covers Norwood Payneham & St Peters, Burnside, Campbelltown, Prospect and Walkerville councils.
