Issues with mouse droppings found in a supermarket have reportedly been resolved according to a new food hygiene inspection.
The Aldi branch at the O2 Centre in Finchley Road was previously slapped with a 1/5 food hygiene score following a visit by Camden Council inspectors on April 14, 2023, in which droppings were found on shelves next to cakes.
The council's environmental health team said ‘major improvement’ was necessary, as a gnawed bag of flour was also found.
At the time, the supermarket chain said it would quickly rectify the “isolated” incident, with a spokesperson blaming it on a pest issues in the “wider O2 site”.
On December 19, 2023, inspectors visited the shop again and issued ‘very good’ ratings across all criteria, giving it a 5/5 rating.
The Ham&High is keeping a monthly record of food hygiene inspections within Camden.
The food hygiene scores range from zero - meaning 'urgent improvement' is needed - to five, which is deemed 'very good'.
According to data published, between late November and mid-December, all eateries inspected in the relevant patches for the Ham&High in the Camden borough have scored a 5/5 rating:
