A Manchester company has been fined more than £19,000 after a series of food safety violations were discovered at two branches of Kansas Fried Chicken – both run by Wingate Services Limited.
A number of serious violations were uncovered by Manchester council health inspectors at the two establishments – including evidence of mice.
After an inspection at one branch, advice and guidance was given to the director of the company regarding work needed to deal with an infestation.
The company agreed to voluntarily close the business until such time as the infestation was under control and the cleaning standards and food safety practices were improved.
However, nine days after reopening, a second branch was found to have failed an inspection due to similar violations.
