What the business says

Dishwasher has been thoroughly cleaned, along with other items in the kitchen. Deep fat fryer oil leak was not possible to repair - new deep fat fryer bought and installed. Chest freezer which had broken internal light has been replaced with a new one. Use-by stickers system is in place. Lasagne - we have not added this to our egg allergen category as it is dried, not fresh, and does not contain egg. Cheese on toast - now included in our milk allergen category.

Faulty equipment, which has now been replaced.
