One key issue identified in the latest inspection was the management of food safety, meaning the systems in place to ensure food served is safe to eat, which were deemed to require ‘major improvement’.
Inspectors also found the cleanliness and condition of facilities and the building needed ‘major improvement’.
But they found the hygienic food handling was ‘generally satisfactory’ at the shop.
The Jamaican and Afro-Caribbean food specialist store was visited by the officers in March.
The store sells a range of food including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and canned goods.
