A branch of KFC was closed on the spot after rats were found living in the kitchen.
Large droppings, gnawed bags of flour and extremely poor levels of hygiene were discovered in areas where food was being stored, prepped and cooked.
Inspectors were so horrified they found the restaurant in Leytonstone, East London, posed an imminent risk to health.
Franchise owner Triple D Limited and director have now been fined £25,000 after admitting he didn’t have adequate procedures in place and poor cleanliness.
The KFC was closed with immediate effect in August 2022 following a visit by inspectors from Waltham Forest Council.
