Earlier this month, The Georgia Department of Agriculture made a disturbing discovery of rat infestation inside a Smyrna Kroger grocery store.
“It’s enough to turn your stomach, it’s just disgusting,” Amber Dent, a former Kroger employee, said.
“It was disgusting, revolting. The smell alone is nauseating,” Dent added. “Initially, I had heard stories about the rats. It was a thing buzzing around the store, but then I started seeing them. I started seeing them come in at night.”
After working at the store for three months, she quit and voiced her concerns publicly. Atlanta News First advised her to notify the Georgia Department of Agriculture, leading to a state inspector’s visit to the store on Friday (Aug.11).
“Our inspector found pretty significant evidence of rodent activity at the establishment,” Dent said.
In response, the department enforced a stop-sale order on all affected products, leading Kroger to dispose of the items in a landfill on Tuesday.
“We’re talking about rodent droppings, evidence of burrowing done by the rodents, as well as a strong smell of urine in the trailer,” said Matthew Agvent, a Georgia Department of Agriculture spokesperson.
