In an operation, the Administration found mouse feces in the filling that would be used to prepare salteñas and tucumanas in a business on Arturo Costa street in the San Pedro area. The Mayor’s Office found the irregularity and closed the establishment that distributed these foods to different parts of the city.
“The place has been suspended because vectors have been found, feces of mice. In addition, it did not have a specific operating license for the sector. All the landfill that was in that productive activity has been confiscated, in addition to the equipment and all the sauces that were decomposing,” said the municipal mayor, Christian Oporto.
In the operation, which was carried out on the eve of celebrating Father’s Day, they also found vegetables and other supplies used to make sauces in poor condition and without the corresponding conservation.
According to Oporto, prepared sauces “decomposed and with a fetid odor” were found, as well as wooden spoons and containers worn and in poor condition, which are used for the preparation of salteñas and tucumanas.
“Inputs for the preparation of sauces were seized, such as onions, olives and avocados without any cold storage and other sauces prepared from olives, avocados and peanuts in poor condition. They were in bags scattered on the ground and there were mouse traps two steps away, so there was cross-contamination,” he recounted.
