ORLANDO, Fla. – Last week, another 18 Central Florida eateries were forced to close down after a visit from a health inspector, according to the Florida DBPR.
State records show that many of these restaurants had issues with cockroaches, rodent droppings, food storage violations and more.
However, each of these closures was only temporary, with several restaurants managing to meet inspection standards by the next day.
