AaB, a club in the Danish Superliga, has had to shut down their player restaurant after mouse droppings were discovered in the kitchen.
This month has been particularly challenging for the Northern Jutland team. Their stadium is struggling with the harsh Danish winter, and the club is facing debts of approximately 7 million euros.
Further complications arose when the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration conducted an unscheduled inspection at their training facilities and uncovered mouse droppings in the kitchen, which serves breakfast and lunch to AaB’s Superliga players daily.
Chairman Claus Fallingborg confirmed the presence of mouse droppings found in the basement area.
“We are now implementing all necessary precautions and have consequently closed the kitchen. It is imperative that we clean the area thoroughly and seal any entry points.”
“We are adhering to all guidelines set forth by the Danish Food Safety Authorities,” he stressed.
“We will arrange for outside catering, so the squad won’t be impacted. It’s mainly the rest of us who might face some inconvenience,” added the AaB chairman.
Fallingborg assured that he does not believe the Superliga team has consumed any food that could have been contaminated by mice.
“No – I’m not an expert, but from what we’ve been informed, there has been no exposure.”, Fallingborg stated.
AaB currently sits ninth on the Danish Superliga table and is set to take on FC Midtjylland at home this Sunday.
