The kitchen of the company responsible for catering at Semmelweis University has been partially suspended due to rodent infestation.

The government office temporarily suspended the use of several areas of the Gasztvitál catering group's kitchen due to significant pest contamination and hygiene issues. This decision followed an inspection on October 12, which revealed serious food safety concerns. The affected facilities include the gluten-free kitchen and areas for a la carte service and cream preparation. Despite the suspension, Semmelweis University assured that clinical catering and patient care continue without interruption, with no reported illnesses related to hygiene issues. The suspension will remain until the Gasztvitál group rectifies the identified problems, and legal proceedings have been initiated against the operator.
