Consumer alert issued for Prantl’s Bakery Shadyside location

The Allegheny Health Department released a consumer alert Thursday regarding Prantl’s Bakery on Walnut Street in Shadyside.

According to the department’s report, the bakery had a presence of rodent droppings on multiple surfaces, damaged exterior walls, soiled food equipment, old food debris and accumulated non-essential items.

The department’s report called the pest management violations “high risk,” and claimed the space was not being properly cleaned.

A Prantl’s worker hung up on a TribLive reporter when they called the Shadyside location for comment. They were sent to voicemail when they called a second time. The bakery did not immediately reply to an email requesting comment.

To have the alert removed, the report said, the entire facility needs to be cleaned. All old food debris must be removed from all surfaces. Rodent droppings need to be removed from the facility and affected areas need to be cleaned and disinfected. All non-essential items in the basement and storage closets must be removed.

If the violations are not corrected within 10 days, the facility will be ordered closed.
