- A Reading food warehouse was shut after inspectors found a "severe and widespread" rat infestation, with large quantities of food gnawed and contaminated.
- Officers seized 400kg of unlabelled, untraceable meat (including sheep heads) and other unsafe products; the owner pleaded guilty to food hygiene offences and was fined £4,220.
- The site briefly reopened after improvements but later failed a follow-up inspection, with more hygiene breaches found, and the council says it will keep monitoring.
