6 Central Florida eateries shut down after health inspections. Here’s why

Last week, half a dozen eateries across Central Florida were forced to close following a visit from a health inspector, according to the Florida DBPR.

Reports show that these businesses were cited for reasons including rodent droppings, cockroaches found crawling inside, and food being improperly stored.

As of Tuesday, all of these eateries have met inspection standards and were thus allowed to reopen.

Below is the full list of Central Florida restaurants closed between May 5 and May 11.
