Hawai‘i Department of Health’s Maui Food Safety Branch ordered Port Town Texaco in Kahului to shut down Thursday due to a rodent infestation. — State Department of Health

Port Town Texaco in Kahului has been shut down after the Hawai’i Department of Health’s Maui Food Safety Branch ordered it to close after a rodent infestation was found during a complaint inspection on Thursday, the DOH said Friday afternoon.

The DOH issued the business at 109 W. Ka’ahumanu Ave. in Kahului a red “Closed” placard.

The establishment is operated by Lahaina Petroleum LLC.

The DOH Food Safety Branch conducted the inspection in response to a complaint which confirmed at least three live rodents and a significant amount of rodent droppings and adulterated food showing evidence of an active rodent infestation.

Based on the observations, inspectors instructed the establishment to immediately cease all food operations to protect the public’s health.

The DOH is requiring Port Town Texaco to complete four corrective actions prior to allowing the establishment to resume food sales to the public. The actions are to contact a professional pest control company to discuss a rodent treatment/monitoring plan to fully eradicate the rodent infestation; remove clutter within the kitchen and storage areas to eliminate rodent harborage areas; place all food and drink items in closed bin containers; and clean all areas with rodent droppings.

A follow-up inspection is scheduled for Monday.
