Make mine a large with Insect larvae

Buncombe County environmental health officials are investigating whether Little Caesars restaurant in Enka sold a pizza containing insect larvae.

No final determination has been made, said Eddie Shook, supervisor of the food and lodging section of the department of environmental health.

Samples from pizza brought to the Buncombe County Health Center are being sent to a state lab in Winston-Salem and are expected back in several days, he said Wednesday.

The restaurant has found no basis for the complaint and is working with the health center, said Sid Burleson, director of franchise operations with the Little Caesars in Enka.

The business has an inspection score of 96.5, a grade A, and no history of problems with flies, county environmental health specialist David Mease said. In an April 20 inspection, health officials said they found old food on some utensils and surfaces not used for food preparation that needed cleaning.
