The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) have stated that two Closure Orders were served on food businesses during the month of June for breaches of food safety legislation.This makes a total of 14 Enforcement Orders this year. The Chief Executive of the FSAI, Dr John O'Brien, cautioned that continued vigilance by the food industry on food safety standards is vital to protect consumer health. The Closure Orders served in June brings to a total of 14 the number of Enforcement Orders served in the first six months of 2007.
This compares to a total of 17 Enforcement Orders for the same period last year. Dr. John O'Brien commented, "that while this overall reduction is certainly encouraging and a sign that we are moving in the right direction, our message still remains clear and we will continue to operate a zero tolerance policy. Enforcement Orders are only served when there is a potential risk to public health and this cannot be accepted at any level”.
