Mama Tina's Gumbo at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was temporarily closed by the Houston Health Department, the department confirmed to USA TODAY.
The stand, owned by Tina Knowles, the mother of Beyonce and Solange Knowles, sells a version of the Southern cuisine staple and was closed for "clerical issues," according to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Dr. Theresa Tran, Director of the Houston Health Department, told USA TODAY in a statement that the department temporarily closed the stand on March 16 due to a "complaint investigation." Tran said the stand "was cooperative with the department’s recommendations" and passed an inspection.
Mama Tina's Gumbo was authorized to reopen on March 17, according to Tran. Service had resumed by March 18, according to Houston NBC affiliate KPRC.
The health department did not provide the reason for the stand's closure. USA TODAY reached out to Tina Knowles' representatives for comment.
