RAT DROPPINGS CLOSE BAKERY

Kern County Public Health has closed La Ilusion Bakery and Donut Shop in southwest Bakersfield after a large amount of rodent droppings were found in and near the pastry boxes. Inspectors say the shop on Panama Lane and Wible Road also had a lot of “buildup” on cooking equipment and on the fans inside the cooler, while some staff did not have basic knowledge about sanitation.
