Food Safety Authority calls for rigid adherence to safety

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has highlighted its concern regarding the current outbreak of E. coli O157 in a Dublin hotel, urging the entire food industry to rigidly adhere to the best food safety practices or face the consequences.

The FSAI said that this, the biggest outbreak of E. coli O157 in Ireland to date, this should serve as a "wake up call" to the entire food sector that no area can be overlooked in the proper monitoring of food safety systems.
