A day after a very small rodent was found by a couple in a stir fry purchased at the Sizzling Wok in St. Vital Centre, the company released a statement, that states the restaurant has been allowed to re-open.
Just as that statement was released there was confirmed that two tiny animals were found in the food.
Here is what the company has to say about the incident:
The Sizzling Wok group of companies
wishes to express its regret that a customer has reported finding a foreign substance served with a meal purchased from the unit in the St. Vital Centre.
This is clearly a serious matter and the unit was immediately closed for inspection and cleaning voluntarily by the operator in cooperation with the landlord and the local health authorities.
The unit has been thoroughly inspected by the operator and by local health authorities and has been allowed to open.
The Health Inspection conducted on May 11, 2009 did not find any evidence of any mice or other rodent infestation in a survey of the kitchen or storage areas of the unit.
The report noted that the bait stations located in the unit were empty and there was no evidence of gnawing by mice.
The St. Vital Centre unit has never had any other reports of foreign substances found in the food served and has never had any sort of rodent infestation.
The Sizzling Wok Group of companies is committed to providing the best in food served in a timely manner to its customers.
The release is issued by the lawyers from Dinning Hunter Lambert & Jackson, the firm which represents the company.

A Calgary man has now been charged with a number of weapons-related crimes after an incident at a southwest shopping centre.
The man, who has not been named, is charged with Unsafe Transportation of a Firearm, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Unauthorized Posession of a Firearm, Possess a Restricted Firearm, and Removed Serial number off a Handgun.
Police say he is also undergoing a psychiatric assessment.
The man was arrested at a pay phone in the 24-hour Walmart in Westbrook Mall Tuesday morning.
Investigators were tipped off when the man called someone and said that he wanted to "hurt people."
It was originally believed the man might have been downtown but when his call was traced, it turned out he was at the southwest store.
Officers called the manager of the business and he confirmed that there was a suspicious man with a bag at the pay phones.
Customers were inside the store at the time.
Police descended on the mall and took one man into custody.
Inside his duffel bag, they discovered a .22-calibre Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun, with 10 rounds in the magazine.

Re: Sooooooooo......
CALGARY - A mother's last-ditch attempt to reunite her young son at a public speaking event with his famous humanitarian grandfather, Desmond Tutu, is now the subject of a human rights review.
Auxilia Goromonzi says her son Munashe was only a toddler the last time he visited his Nobel laureate grandfather.
Today, Munashe is an inquisitive nine-year-old boy who wants to come face-to-face with a family member he only sees in the newspaper and on TV, said his mother.
So, because Tutu hasn't responded to her calls, letters ande-mails over the past seven years, Goromonzi spent$1,000 on two tickets to see the antiapartheid activist at a speaking engagement in London, Ont., on May 22.
But once she told organizers from St. Joseph Health Care Foundation her intentions to meet up with former Archbishop Tutu, she was banned from attending the event and refunded her money, she said.
"They said, 'I regret to inform you that you and your son will not be allowed to attend the event because it will cause a disruption,' " said Goromonzi.
The 46-year-old city woman said she had a child with Tutu's son, Trevor Tutu, nearly a decade ago.The relationship ended when Goromonzi was two months pregnant, thus he never signed the birth certificate, she said.
Father and son have never met, she said, but the boy has twice spent time with Desmond Tutu in South Africa.
She said she is not looking for money from the boy's father, rather she seeks acknowledgment: she wants her son to know who he is, and what his roots are.
"He is a child who needs an identity,"she said. "He belongs somewhere and he just wants to know where that is."
Goromonzi said she has tried to find Trevor Tutu over the years so that she can serve him papers to obtain proof of paternity, but has been unsuccessful in getting an address.
"I want him to acknowledge the child exists," she said of Trevor.
As a result, her son rarely asks about his father, she said. His grandfather, on the other hand, is high-profile, the mother said, causing Munashe to see the images and ask about him often.
"He knows his grandfather, and he's met him, so when we heard he was coming to Canada, we were excited to go and see him,"Goromonzi said. "I am running out of ideas to tell (Munashe) why he doesn't know his family."
The mother, who works in Calgary as a business analyst, said she offered to send her son to the London speaking event with another adult, while she stayed away, to assuage any fears of a confrontation.
When she was told no, she filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, which is reviewing the matter.
"My son is being discriminated against and I want to know why," Goromonzi said. "They assumed that I would cause a disruption, and I understand that, but why do this to my son?"
The Herald was unable to reach anyone from St. Joseph Health Care Foundation for comment Monday, but the group appears as a respondent on the human rights tribunal documents dated April 29, 2009.
In a letter, the foundation's lawyer David Nash writes that Goromonzi's personal "agenda"will interfere with the annual fundraising event, which draws a crowd of 500 people to raise money for health care:"This event . . . has nothing to do with her agenda," the letter reads. "We would . . . ask that she respect the nature of this particular event."

Re: Sooooooooo......
Well at the moment she has no proof whatsoever of her claims that Tutu is grandfather to her son, i would be skeptical until she holds proof.
Why has she chosen to carry this out in such a high profile way?
If her son has spent time with his grandfather in the past (seeminly with no mentioned issues), then what happened to make it not possible later in South Africa?
And if she can afford to pay the $1000 for a ticket to an event to see the grandfather, why can't she afford to save a little longer for her son to see his father in South Africa.
Her son has an identity...with her and her family, and at 9 years old it is likely that for the time being the issue is pressed more by her than her son...
Too many questions in my mind for me to believe that she is genuine.Comment
