What the business says

The establishment has been thoroughly cleaned and procedures are in place to ensure cleanliness is maintained. There is now a new manager and/or new staff. The staff have been trained/re-trained/given instruction/are under revised supervisory agreements. The conditions found at the time of the inspection were not typical of the normal conditions maintained at the establishement and arose because: "We had a new staff member that week who made a genuine mistake on filling the log book. All staff have been retrained and re-educated on the Muffin Break standards"
