Health officials in the South Bay have ordered a Whole Foods Market location in Cupertino to temporarily close for repairs due to a vermin infestation.

According to the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health, the store at 20955 Stevens Creek Boulevard was told to close after failing an inspection Tuesday afternoon. During the inspection, rodent droppings were found in several locations, including a produce island, in the deli, under the sink of a demonstration island and in the store's juice bar.

"A food facility shall not operate when there is a vermin infestation that has resulted in the contamination of food contact surfaces, food packaging, utensils, food equipment, or adulteration of food(s). The food facility shall cease operation of the food facility immediately. The food facility shall remain closed until all items on provided checklist have been completed," the inspection report said.
