Their report started on a bad note, mentioning things they likely noted in the past that had not been addressed, like a leaking water fountain. They found rodent droppings under shelves, in the back store room, and in the break room.

Health Department Pulls Expired Baby Food At Lufkin Dollar General Location

They found and pulled twenty-two separate baby food items from the shelves that had expired on February 6, 2024. They also noted that half of the overhead lighting was not operational. They issued a closure of the business for 10 days specifically due to the rodent infestation.

It has been over 10 days, so hopefully that gave them time to get these things under control and reopen the store.
