Misplaced paperwork has led to a popular cat cafe in Liverpool being downgraded by city health inspectors.
The Food Standards Agency has said major improvement is required at the Cat Cafe on Bold Street following an inspection by Liverpool Council officials last month. The venue, which invites patrons to enjoy tea and coffee while surrounded by dozens of cats that call the building their own, operates six days a week from 10am to 6pm.
During its August inspection, council officials said while cleanliness and food hygiene standards were good at the Bold Street cafe, major improvement was necessary in terms of its management of food safety. This encompasses a “system or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat, evidence that staff know about food safety, and the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in future”.
