The warehouse was ordered closed by Toronto’s health department after an inspection revealed the infestation, but was reopened after two days on a conditional basis and given a “green pass,” the city’s highest rating, on Friday, according to the Toronto Star newspaper.

She stressed there was no health risk to consumers.
