Mouse caught scrambling between sushi in Westfield food court
A mother was left horrified after she found a mouse walking around in the refrigerator severy of an Adelaide sushi shop.
The woman, who didn't want to be named, said she was passing by the shop on July 17 with her three young daughters when she saw the rodent.
“I was shocked and horrified, I’m actually really quite grossed out by it,” she told Adelaide Now.
“If there’s one, there could be more. My thought was how did it get into there in the first place – the glass cabinet has folding doors.”
After taking photos of the mouse, staff at Westfield Marion were notified.
They immediately disposed of all the food in the cabinet.
Owner Florence Zheng said they couldn't believe it when they saw the mouse making its way through the sushi packs.
“It was just shocking, just to see it right there in the fridge like that,” she said.
“Unfortunately we had to throw out all the food and also a mat underneath, and we then cleaned and sanitised everything. But that is just what you have to do.”

Ms Zheng said she believes the mouse came from a nearby construction area at the shopping centre and was able to get into the food court store at night as it has no front door.
“We just have to be cautious,” Ms Zheng said.
“We are working very hard with the council and the centre management to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
Council's health officer inspected the area affter receiving the complaint.
