A UK-based bakery in Rushcliffe was temporarily closed and left with a bill of over £21,000 after an investigation found its premises was infested with mice who had ravaged throughout food storage and production areas, including some dead and rotting.

Vale Bakery Ltd trading as Belvoir Bakery of Langar Road, Barnstone was found to have a severe, widespread and ongoing mouse problem which had led to contamination of food ingredients, food packaging, equipment and food contact surfaces leaving the premises in filthy conditions.
