Two area operations temporarily shut down recently to correct health code violations.

The Kansas Department of Agriculture cited Bagel Works Bread Co., 1523 S. 45th St., Kansas City, Kansas, during a Feb. 20 inspection. According to the report, it had no hot water and an employee stated he “noticed the absence of hot water in the facility a few days ago.”

Bagel Works temporarily shut down to put in a new hot water heater. It was then reinspected and allowed to reopen later that day.

Company officials declined to comment.
