The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has reported that six Closure Orders and one Prohibition Order were served on food businesses during January, having breached food safety legislation.
The Closure Orders were served under the FSAI Act, 1998, to A1 Kebab in Roscommon, River View Chinese Restaurant and Takeaway, Tipperary, Grill to Chill in Donegal and Clare’s Pizzeria in Dublin.
The Closure Orders served under EC Official controls of Foodstuffs Regulations 2010 were Giles Brothers Fish Shop, Dublin and Green Masala Indian Restaurant and Takeaway in Wexford. The Prohibition Order was for Shellfish De La Mer in Cork.
Prof. Alan Reilly, Chief Executive, FSAI said: “Full compliance with food safety and hygiene standards is essential for all food businesses. There is absolutely no excuse for putting consumers’ health at risk through negligent practices.
"We are urging businesses to take full advantage of the information and support provided by the inspectorate and the FSAI to ensure that they have the correct food safety management systems in place.”
Details of the food businesses served with Enforcement Orders are published on the FSAI’s website at www.fsai.ie
