Ten Closure Orders Served On Food Firms In August - FSAI

Ten Closure Orders have been served on food businesses during August, according to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).

Two Prohibition Orders were also served.

Four Closure Orders were served under the FSAI Act, 1998 on:

• Canton House (restaurant), 2 Bath Street, Dublin 4

• Sweet Nosh (restaurant), Unit 6, Chatham Street, Dublin 2

• Tikka Balti (take away), 404 South Circular Road, Dublin 8

• Brandon Bay Lodge/B&B (closed area: the kitchen), Killshanig, Maharees, Castlegregory, Kerry

Six Closure Orders were served under the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010 on:

• Jade Dragon (restaurant), North Mall, Westport, Mayo

• Gleeson's Bakery, Lewis Lane, Connolly Street, Nenagh, Tipperary

• Nan's (take away), 3 Applewood Village, Swords, Co. Dublin

• Caspian's (restaurant), Main Street, Kiltimagh, Mayo

• Rishab's Tandoori House (restaurant), Main Street, Dunshaughlin, Meath

Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive of the FSAI, expressed her disappointment at the lack of vigilance by some owners in ensuring their food businesses are fit for purpose and fully compliant with food safety legislation.

She said: "We continue to find unacceptable levels of non-compliance with food safety legislation. There are still some food business operators who are potentially putting their customers' health at risk by not complying with their legal obligations for food safety and hygiene. There is absolutely no excuse for these negligent practices."
