UPDATE (1/28/23): Supremo Food Market has reopened after a new inspection by the city health department, carried out on Jan. 27, deemed it safe to reopen. The store remained closed for more than a week.

(January 23, 2023): Supremo Food Market at 43rd and Walnut has been closed since Thursday because of numerous health code violations, including evidence of mice.

An inspector from the city health department noted a “gnawed package of cookies” on a store shelf, a dead mouse under one of the shelves and mouse droppings at various locations in the store, including “on the cutting board and the plastic sealing machine in the produce area,” according to an inspection report posted today. The report is the second in four days citing “imminent health hazards” that led to the closure of the supermarket last Thursday.

Supremo will be closed until at least Wednesday morning, according to the report.

Calls to the supermarket for comment were not answered.

Supremo was closed briefly in October for similar violations.
