Hagersville meat shop ordered to close by Grand Erie Public Health
Grand Erie Public Health said it issued a closure order for Jepson's Fresh Meats in Hagersville.
According to a media release from the health unit on Friday, it was a precautionary move due to safety concerns.
'Public Health has reason to believe that the premises have been without electrical power for a prolonged period,' it said. 'As a result, refrigeration systems are likely non-functional, and perishable food items may have spoiled. Spoiled food can pose a significant health risk if consumed.'
Grand Erie Public Health said 'efforts have been made to contact the business operator' and a closure notice was posted at the store.
They also urged customers not to purchase or consume food from Jepson's Fresh Meats until a full inspection is conducted and the order is lifted.
