Commenting on the number of
Enforcement Orders served in July, Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive, FSAI
stated that is of the utmost importance that consumers are confident at all
times that the food they are purchasing and eating is safe. She said:
“There are simply no excuses for putting consumers’ health at risk
through sub-standard food hygiene practices. The summer months are busy
months for food businesses and systems must be put in place to cope with the
increase in customers. We are re-emphasising to all food businesses that
they must comply with food safety and hygiene laws at all times. It is
essential that all food businesses have the appropriate food safety
management systems and procedures in place and that all staff are fully
trained to ensure these systems and procedures are adhered to all times.”
Dr Byrne called on food businesses to seek information to ensure that
they have the correct food safety management systems in place. If any food
business owner is unsure of what is required of them by law, they can
