Congratulations to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) are in order for two reasons:
First: the organisation is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. The authority has been in existence since 1999 serving and developing the food sector in Ireland after its establishing in the Food Safety Authority of Ireland Act 1998. It was one of the first state authorities to focus on food safety alone and has since served as an example for the establishing of similar authorities in numerous other countries.
Second: the Authority has just launched its overhauled website. It can be found at www.fsai.ie.
The new website has a fresh, clean look to it and is clearly structured and easy to navigate.
It features all the latest updates in food safety legislation development as well as a brand new 'food businesses' section, featuring information on HACCP, Training, Topics of Interest and a list of establishments that are approved under Regulation 853/2004 to handle and process products of animal origin.
The Resources and Publication section continues to feature all relevant SAI publications for free download (PDF format). A handy source thet provides a wealth of free of information for every food business!
The Science and Health section features interesting information on scientific health and food topics such as salt intake levels, health claims, food supplements and others.
Also of interest to the public is the section on Monitoring & Enforcement. Here the (sad) list of food safety offnders is published on an ongoing basis - food businesses that either were served with an improvement order (district court), a prohibition order (Authorised Health Officer) or closure order (Authorised Health Officer) are listed on this page until three months after the order has been lifted.
We wish the FSAI continued success in the future and hope that the newly refurbished website will be put to good use as a reliable source of information by food businesses across the country.
