Dr John O’Brien, Chief Executive, FSAI, expressed concern at the very high number of Enforcement Orders that had to be issued in September. “The number of Enforcement Orders issued in September represents the highest number of Orders issued in one month so far this year. We continue to stress to food businesses that it is their responsibility to adhere to best practice set down in law or there will be consequences such as Enforcement Orders. Our main priority is the safety of the consumer in relation to food, and the food they purchase must be produced to the highest standards attainable.”
Details of the food businesses served with these Enforcement Orders are published on the FSAI’s website. Closure 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.
