FSAI Press Release, 8th February 2010:
"The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today reported that one Enforcement Order was served on a food business during the month of January for breaches in food safety legislation pursuant to the FSAI Act, 1998. A Closure Order was served by environmental health officers (EHOs) in the HSE Dublin North East Region on Frier Tuck take-away, 45 Ballybough Road, Dublin 3.
Also, during the month of January, the following successful prosecutions were carried out by the HSE Dublin Mid Leinster Region on The Orchid Szechuan restaurant, 120 Pembroke Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4; and on Mr Lam Chinese Restaurant, 4 Village Centre, Main Street, Cabinteely, Dublin 18. A successful prosecution was also carried out by the HSE West Region on Global Foods supermarket, 17 Davis Street, Limerick.
Commenting on the latest figures, Prof Alan Reilly, Chief Executive, FSAI stated that it is encouraging to see that the number of Enforcement Orders is significantly lower than in previous months; however, it is not a time to get complacent. Food safety and hygiene should be the priority on the list of resolutions for food businesses in 2010.
“Most Enforcement Orders served are due to easily preventable faults. In the main, a number of critical areas of non-compliance with legislation continue to arise. These include dirty premises and unhygienic practices, which could lead to contamination of food; contaminated products; cross-contamination from raw to cooked foods; improper storage of food; and untrained staff. Consumers have a right to feel confident that the food they are purchasing is safe to eat and every Closure Order undermines that confidence, which affects not only the premises involved, but the industry as a whole”, said Prof Reilly.
Details of the food businesses served with these Enforcement Orders are published on the FSAI’s website. Closure Orders and Improvement 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."
