16 dead roaches found at Fuddruckers; dead rodents found at restaurant supply store

Below is a list of places ordered shut by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation last week.

All the places ordered shut were allowed to re-open following an ordered clean up and then a re-inspection.

Jetro Cash and Carry is inspected by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Their inspectors do not order places shut like the DBPR does, but did order a “stop sale” on several items.
