The team at Dominique Ansel Bakery has issued a statement about this afternoon's Health Inspection and subsequent closure. Blaming the video of a mouse posted on Gothamist, they say they hope to reopen the bakery by Monday. Here's the full statement:

Due to the video that was released, the health department used it as evidence to ask us to re-cement and closed down the bakery for extermination. As a small one-shop bakery, we often feel like we're being looked at under a tremendous microscope. A lot of time people don't see the larger ramifications of their actions and how a tiny video of a mouse running across the screen for 3 seconds can cause harm and damages to an honest, small business that people's livelihood depends on. We of course believe that we run a clean and good operation, but see that we were targeted and will rise to the occasion to be even better. Chef says we will be doing everything that was asked of us, and hope to reopen on Monday. And he's sadden for our customers who had plans this weekend that we weren't able to welcome them. Our team will be here in person to speak to customers live.
