Pittsburgh Convenience Store, Eatery Hit With Consumer Alert

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Allegheny County Health Department has issued a consumer alert for the Oak Hill Market on Oak Hill Drive in the city's Terrace Village section. The market is a convenience store that also sells prepared foods.

An inspection conducted Tuesday revealed too many rodent droppings to count in the convenience store's corners and under chips on the shelves. A bag of gnawed cheese curls was found. Evidence of rodent wall nesting was found along a wall in the receiving area.

According to the inspection report, dirt in the market made it difficult to distinguish between dirt and mice droppings.

There were no use by dates found on bins of chicken stored in a refrigerator.

The Slushie machine was not sanitized and the food handler was unable to demonstrate how to properly clean it. Raw eggs were found stored above ready-to-eat food and drinks.

The market remains open while the alert is in place.
