In November, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued ten Enforcement Orders to food businesses for violating food safety regulations. The orders were issued by the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Louth County Council.
- Six Closure Orders were served on establishments including Golden Dragon Chinese Takeaway in Kerry, Al Huda Grocery in Dublin, Macari’s in Kilkenny, Harrington’s Bakery in Cork, an unapproved premises in Louth, and Baker Boys in Sligo.
- Three Closure Orders were served under EU regulations on Achari in Limerick, Oscars in Limerick, and Pizza Max in Meath.
- One Prohibition Order was also issued to The Bakehouse in Tipperary.
The Enforcement Orders were a result of various violations, such as people living in food preparation areas, pest infestations, poor hygiene practices, and inadequate training or food safety systems.
Pamela Byrne, the FSAI’s Chief Executive, highlighted the importance of food businesses complying with food law and having a strong food safety culture.
The FSAI publishes details of the businesses served with Enforcement Orders on their website, with Closure and Improvement Orders listed for three months from the correction of issues, and Prohibition Orders listed for one month after being lifted.
