“Queasy Fried Chicken,” shorten QFC was shut down after health inspectors and officers had their appetite ruined by the incredible filth and disregard towards customer's health and sanitation found in the East London shop.

Pictures posted online prove the horrible conditions in which the food was cooked. Besides the fact that the place was covered in old leftovers, grease and dirt, there was also a rat infestation. The stomach turning photos are enough to make everyone's appetite go away.

Officers inspecting the disgusting location said that the takeaway place was “the filthiest premises they have seen in a long time,” with the floors covered with discarded fries and walls filled with grease and other disgusting substances, according to DailyMail.

“It begs the question, what does the Q in QFC stand for? Queasy? Questionable? Certainly not Quality, that's for sure,” Clyde Loakes, one of the health inspectors handling the case, told the press after releasing the pictures. The work conditions were horrible and the disregard for the customers’ wellbeing is shocking.

“The fact that mice were running around this kitchen – and from the amount of droppings found, for some time too – just makes you feel sick for anyone who has eaten there recently,” Loakes said when describing the shocking discovery.

The establishment was immediately shut down and received a Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Order by the Court. The question that remains is how this takeaway shop functioned without anyone noticing the health hazard present there. It will be allowed to open only if the health and safety Commission considers it deem to function without presenting a risk to customers.

The East London takeaway shop has been declared one of London's filthiest establishments and the fact that it handled food for customers makes it even worse. There was little to no cleaning done in the place and the garbage was spread all over the floor making us think that the hygiene issue was the last one on the owner's mind.
