The owner of the Nellie's restaurants in Calgary has been fined over $60,000.
A provincial court judge issued the fine for violations of the Public Health Act that span over 12 years.
Roxanne Taylor-King admitted there were 43 violations in her five restaurants: Nellie's Cosmic Cafe, Nellie's Kitchen, Nellie's on 4th, Nellie's on 90th and Nellie's on Kensington.
Some of the violations include mouse droppings found on food in the kitchen; perishable food not being kept at a proper temperature; food not being handled safely by staff; and utensils not being cleaned and sanitized properly.
