Sacramento, California — a city where the river bends beneath bridges old and new, where murals bloom on brick and stucco, where the laughter of families mingles with the wisdom of old-timers and the dreams of newcomers. Here, the Capitol’s dome glows golden above a patchwork of neighborhoods, and the air is alive with the scent of citrus, barbecue, and something soulful simmering in every kitchen.

Sacramento rats, food recalls and a new Roseville restaurant. Here's what to know

Sacramento-area residents have a mix of news to track this Thursday, from pest problems to pantry safety to a new dining option. Here’s a quick look at three stories making headlines. Sacramento ranked No. 20 on Orkin’s 2026 list of the 50 worst U.S. cities for rodent infestations, and a Terminix home inspector told The Bee that rats and mice seek warmth and shelter indoors during colder months , squeezing through holes as small as a dime to nest in walls. October brought a wave of food recalls affecting California shoppers , including WinCo salsa bean dip trays tied to peperoncini from a company linked to a dead mouse video, a frozen lemon alfredo fettuccine sold at Walmart for possible listeria, more than 122,000 cases of Gatorade with undeclared yellow dyes and Once Upon a Farm toddler snack bars pulled over a choking hazard. Bohl, the Elk Grove salad and rice bowl spot owned by former Dutch Bros franchisees Hailey and Kyle Garret, is opening a second location at 10357 Fairway Drive in Roseville in 2027 , serving signature bowls like the “lettuce enter the dragon” and “steak me outside” alongside build-your-own options.

Rodent enters Sacramento restaurant during health inspection. What else was found?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a soul food restaurant after finding about rodent droppings throughout the facility in addition to the live rodent. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Oct. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 4. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com . How to report a business to the health department For readers who would like to report a local restaurant, food truck or café for health violations, you can file
