Pink Cadillacs isn’t the only restaurant in Saskatoon dealing with pest issues. Saskatchewan Health Authority inspection reports within the past year show dozens of food establishments face pest-related issues, ranging from minor to serious.

In a statement made to Global News, Tyson says every restaurant he knows gets a pest control service done monthly and that he does everything he can to provide a safe and healthy environment.

The SHA said in a statement they have been working with Tyson, who has been cooperative. They have suspended the restaurant’s licence pending a follow up inspection.
