That place hasn't been inspected for quite sometime - mice feces would be everywhere and hard to miss by a diligent inspector.

Why would they leave food out in the open when they already know they dot mice problems.  You might as well not bother sweeping crumbs on the floor, too!  Or, let your garbage hang out.

I've worked in food industry - you never, never leave food uncovered!

 

A business owner says she plans to ramp up her efforts to fight rodents after shocked passersby spotted a pair of mice going to town on some treats in a store window at a Queen Street baklava shop late Saturday.

“It was disgusting because when I looked more I saw some mouse feces around the trays,” said Mohammad Valipour, who caught the mice on a video taken with his cellphone.

Speaking with CTV News Toronto Sunday, one of the owners of Meli baklava and chocolate bar said the mice were sniffing around a display of baklava that isn't served to customers.

 “We cover everything, those are strictly for display, we would never serve anything that's not fresh,” Julie Kyriakaki said.
