Pittsburgh Grocery Store Hit With Consumer Alert

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Allegheny County Health Department has issued a consumer alert for the Kuhn's Market on Banksville Road.

The grocery was temporarily closed after an inspection Friday revealed an active sewage backup in critical areas such as main kitchen, ware washing, and food storage areas. Evidence of prior backups was found in customer areas of deli section.

The inspector also found that sewage had been improperly cleaned as evidenced by the lack of residual chlorine in stagnant water present in these areas.

The store also was cited for failing to notify the health department of an emergency situation such as a sewage backup.

The supermarket had reopened as of Monday morning.
