UPDATE: Doppio Zero’s pest control report confirms ‘beetles’ were in fact cockroaches
SANDTON - The food scandal that has faced Doppio Zero has taken a new turn with the release of a statement from a pest control company.
After reports of cockroaches being found at the popular eatery Doppio Zero in Sandton City, the restaurant chain investigated the matter by hiring ECO LAB, a pest control company to do an official investigation.
“We at Doppio Zero would like to acknowledge that we were, in fact, incorrect regarding our initial findings – the insect found at our restaurant is a very rare species of vegetative cockroach. This insect originates in plant material and is not and internal pest,” said Tarryn Leigh Nash, marketing coordinator for the chain.
The initial post from the restaurant stating that the insects were not cockroaches:

We have obtained these extra reports based on the fact that we want to go above and beyond to ensure we exceed industry standards with regards to health and hygiene.”
