Popular Pittsburgh Mall Eatery Slapped With Consumer Alert

PITTSBURGH, PA — A well-known eatery at a Pittsburgh mall was hit with a consumer alert for multiple health code violations.

The alert went out for Auntie Anne's Pretzels in South Hills Village following a December 10 inspection.

The inspector observed too many to count live and dead roaches inside of the cabinets underneath the customer-facing warmer and register. Single service cups stored in the cabinets under the warmer were in contact with dead roaches.

Fruit flies were found inside of the in-cabinet ice storage bin and in the catch trays of the lemonade.

A restaurant with a consumer alert placard is allowed to operate for a temporary period not exceeding 10 days. Another inspection is conducted either prior to the expiration of the temporary period upon request of the eatery owner or on the tenth day.

If the problems are not corrected, the eatery can be ordered to close.
