A market in a Pittsburgh neighborhood is under Consumer Alert after an inspection by the Allegheny County Health Department.
Adan Market 2 on Arrington Avenue in Allentown was hit with 13 total violations including two considered “high-risk”. The inspection was conducted on March 10 and posted on the County’s site on March 18.
Those high-risk violations include evidence of a rodent infestation.
Several bags of snack bags and candy were chewed by mice.
A box of sunflower seeds was observed with rodent droppings in it.
Mouse droppings were also seen in a chip display, along the perimeter of the walls of the hallways and behind a counter, on wooden shelves and rodent droppings, along with urine was seen on cardboard chip flats around the store.
One mouse skeleton was seen stuck to a glue board under a shelving unit in the storage room.
The Health Department says several steps need be taken before a reinspection, scheduled for March 19, including a mop sink being installed, rodent droppings removed and the affected areas disinfected, increase pest control and more.
The market has also faced calls to be shut down over recent years due to several fatal shootings occurring at or near the store.
Any updates to the status and full inspection report can be found on the Health Department’s website.
