Five Food Firms Served With Closure Orders In February
Five Closure Orders were served on food businesses during February, according to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).
The firms were served the notices for breaches of food safety legislation, pursuant to the FSAI Act, 1998 and the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010.
Three Closure Orders were served under the FSAI Act, 1998 on:
• Express Pizza (take away), 6 Lord Edward Street, Limerick
• Punjab Pantry (take away), 39 Richmond Street South, Dublin 2
• Synergy Subs Ltd t/a Subway (restaurant/café), Mellview House, M1 Retail Park, Drogheda, Louth.
Two Closure Orders were served under the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010 on:
• Jalapeno Mexican Cuisine Ltd (restaurant/café), 46 Drumcondra Road Lower, Drumcondra, Dublin 9
• Culleton's Fish & Chips (restaurant/café), Main Street, Bansha, Tipperary.
Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive of the FSAIm said: "Closure Orders, regardless of the legislation under which they were served, indicate that not all food businesses are complying with the law and as a result, are potentially putting consumers' health at serious risk.
"It is highly important that food businesses have a strong food safety culture in their business, which can be achieved through ongoing training of all members of their team. Failure to recognise the importance of food safety in a food business reflects poorly not only on that business, but also on the entire food industry."
