B&M Retail Ltd is fined £2 million after Birmingham City Council prosecutes the retailer over food hygiene offences connected to mouse infestations. Multiple outlets report that inspections identify mouse activity at three of the company’s city-centre stores in Birmingham. Inspectors find mouse droppings and evidence that food items have been gnawed, indicating infestation and hygiene failures. The council’s case focuses on breaches of food safety standards identified during visits to the stores. The fine is reported as being imposed for offences including mouse-related contamination. Separate reports describe the company as apologising, stating it is “deeply sorry,” while noting the enforcement action follows the inspections and findings across the three locations. The outlets agree on the main elements: the £2m penalty, the involvement of Birmingham City Council, and the presence of mouse infestation indicators at three B&M stores in the city. The reporting does not indicate additional stores or wider geographic impact beyond Birmingham.
