The Edinburgh Evening News is reporting that Bennetts Home Bakery, in Yeaman Place, Viewforth, Scotland, was ordered to shut immediately after inspectors found a build up of food debris and rubbish.

The inspection was carried out following an anonymous call from a member of the public.

As well as evidence of the vermin problem, the council’s environmental health officers also found a general lack of cleanliness and pest proofing.

They feared the state of the shop meant there was an "imminent risk of food being contaminated" and an emergency prohibition notice was issued ordering the shop to close.

The shop was closed for ten days following the inspection on July 17, and was only re-opened after environmental officers were satisfied it had been properly cleaned.
