Burger King reopens after video of rodents on hamburger buns

WILMINGTON, DE (KYW) — A Delaware Burger King where video apparently shows rodents scurrying among hamburger buns has reopened. The restaurant had been closed because of rodent infestation and gross, unsanitary conditions.

The Division of Public Health’s Dr. Karyl Rattay also cited an “imminent health hazard” as a cause for closing the eatery in a June 1 letter to the Burger King’s owner, Rackson Restaurants LLC.

The inspection report said, among other things, that rodent droppings were found inside the hamburger and chicken sandwich rolls.

Droppings also were found behind fryers.
