Inspectors found food well past its use-by-date and kitchens in unhealthy conditions when they visited ten of twelve eating places on Calle Elvira in Granada.
The ten eating establishments were six Chinese restaurants and four fast-food shawarmas and many of them have been closed down and told to bring the establishment to within hygiene standards.
The operation to examine 12 establishments was carried out by the Policía Local accompanied by health inspectors, beginning around nine o’clock on Saturday night and didn’t conclude until approximately four in the morning.
The police ended up confiscating 2,980 kilos of food not fit for human consumption. They also came across kitchens, storage, and refrigerators in unhygienic conditions owing to a lack of cleanliness.
One shawarma had small defects to rectify and one cafe-bar received a clean bill of health. Those establishments that were immediately closed down can only open again once they have met the necessary health standards.

Look, Spanish practices, Chinese or Arabic, each country has different ideas of what’s OK and what isn’t.
It’s difficult to change an outlook on life, just because you’re in a different country. I was horrified to see how goat and other kinds of meat were just hung outside butchers shops in Morocco.
But if we don’t like their way of life, even abroad, then don’t eat in the eatery. Have you ever seen on YouTube how some establishments, even main stream, fast-food places, on how they prepare or keep their foods? Or the ones on the selling of chlorine-washed chickens, past sell-by dates in the UK? Horse meat sold as prime steak?
It’s business Jim, but not as I want it!
