: BarfBlogIreland reports 17% increase in food safety enforcement orders in 2009
By Doug Powell
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today stated that there were a total of 54 Enforcement Orders – including 34 Closure Orders -- served for breaches in food safety legislation in 2009 compared with 46 in 2008, an increase totaling 17%.
The FSAI today re-emphasized that it is unacceptable that food businesses were continuing to breach food safety laws and warned all food business operators to place robust food safety measures and hygiene practices top of their agenda for the new decade or face the full rigors of the law being imposed.
Prof Alan Reilly, Chief Executive, FSAI, said,
'Consumers have to be confident that the food they are eating is safe to eat and the FSAI will continue to take a zero tolerance policy to breaches of food safety legislation. Food business operators should take full advantage of the information and support made available by the FSAI and its official agencies to ensure a basic and consistent food safety management plan is developed and put in place in line with legislation.'
