Cockroach and rodent infestations lead health inspectors to close eateries

Brian from New Lynn

A bakery, city caterer and two Asian food outlets are among Auckland's dirtiest eateries after four of them were found to be infested with pests. This included Pepper Kitchen in the city centre where Auckland Council health inspectors found a cockroach and rodent infestation in August. Infestations were also discovered at Catering Masters in Mangere, BBQ Noodle House in Albany and Davin Bakery and Cafe on the Te Atatū Peninsula. Lucky Grill Seafood Restaurant in Highland Park was also hit with an E-grade rating but this was because it was found to have poor storage and cross-contamination issues. Cleanliness and poor hygiene were found to be issues in all five outlets, while Pepper Kitchen was described as a "critical risk" because of its cleaning standards. A sixth outlet, Surasang in the Wairau Valley, was hit with a D-grade rating for "non-compliant labelling" and "undeclared allergens". The five E rated outlets were ordered closed until the issues had been fixed.They were then set to be given a new grading after 90 days.

Don’t Wash Your Hair In The Shower

Andrea from Green Bay

It’s so good to finally get a “Health Warning” that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with it… a warning to us all!”
I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: “For Extra Body & Volume”
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: “Dissolves Fat” that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solved✅
