A butcher shop located in Lunel was closed by order of the prefecture of Hérault. This administrative closure by the departmental directorate of population protection concerns "the Mailhet butcher's shop, in Lunel, due to serious breaches of hygiene rules".

The prefecture evokes dirty premises and equipment, food kept in inadequate conditions and insufficient traceability. This succession of health breaches leads to "a proven risk of intoxication".

The decision of the prefecture of Hérault was welcomed with surprise in Lunel. The establishment, known for sourcing horse meat and bull mainly from Camargue breeders, is an institution in the commune.
