A SUPERMARKET which reportedly saw mouse droppings found during an inspection has been given a new hygiene rating, almost two years on.

The Co-op shop at Woodhouse Triangle, in Guisborough, was told it must make “major improvement” after it was given a one-star hygiene rating in July 2019.

At the time, inspectors found traces of mouse droppings in a warehouse on the site, and hot food was being displayed below minimum safety temperatures.

The supermarket also was described as having “dirty” shelving, while inspectors claimed the management had been aware of what was described as a mouse infestation.

At the time, the supermarket chain said it takes the results of inspections “very seriously,” assuring customers that the issues had been rectified to the satisfaction of Environmental Health.

But almost 24 months after the scathing score was given, the supermarket has since been re-rated and given the highest rating possible. In all three categories the premises scored “very good”.
