Prof Alan Reilly, Chief Executive, FSAI stated today that it was unacceptable that there was the need to issue this number of Enforcement Orders on premises during the month of June. Food businesses that chose to ignore the law will not be tolerated. Consumers have a right to feel confident that the food they are purchasing is safe to eat and every Enforcement Order undermines that confidence, which affects not only the premises involved, but the industry as a whole.
“The ten Enforcement Orders served in June, bring to 32 the total number of Enforcement Orders served to date in 2010. We would stress to food businesses the importance of maintaining the highest standards of food hygiene at all times. One of the simplest ways to ensure food is produced safely is that basic hygiene standards are met and yet, this continues to be an issue for some food businesses. You can’t produce safe food in dirty kitchens. We encourage food businesses to visit our website, as it is a comprehensive source of information on every aspect of food safety, food hygiene management, food safety training and food legislation. Our advice line 1890 336677 and our recently launched Facebook page are additional resources, so there is no excuse for food businesses to be unaware of their legal responsibilities to protect consumer health in relation to food safety.”
Details of the food businesses served with these Enforcement Orders are published on the FSAI’s website at www.fsai.ie. Closure Orders and Improvement Orders will remain listed on the website for a period of three months from the date of when a premises is adjudged to have corrected its food safety issue, with Prohibition Orders being listed for a period of one month.
