One prohibition order was served to Rene Cusack Ltd (fish processing), The Food Centre, Raheen Industrial Estate, Raheen in Limerick.
In March, a successful prosecution was carried out by the HSE in relation to Cliffords Bar a public house in Crookstown, Cork.
Commenting on the enforcement orders served last month, Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive of the FSAI said that all food businesses must comply with food safety legislation in order to protect consumers’ health.
“The legal responsibility for producing food that is safe to eat rests with food businesses. Enforcement Orders and most especially Closure Orders and Prohibition Orders are served on food businesses only when a serious risk to consumer health has been identified or where there are a number of ongoing serious breaches of food legislation.
Enforcement Orders are not served for minor breaches. Food inspectors have a range of other powers that they can use to deal with minor breaches.
More information can be read on the FSAI’s website.
