The Allegheny County Health Department has shut down and cited Prantl’s Bakery for opening a new location in Squirrel Hill without a health permit, department records show.
The bakery’s new location on Forbes Avenue was shut down by health inspectors April 28 for operating with a health permit, failing to request a pre-operational inspection and doing construction prior to plan approval.
Inspectors also noted other health violations: improper cold holding of food, not having a food probe thermometer, failing to sanitize surfaces that come into contact with food, not having hot water throughout the whole building and not having hand-washing sinks in the food-handling areas.
