Public put in ‘grave danger from shoddy food outlets’

THE public has been put in “grave and immediate danger” by shoddy food operators, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) warned yesterday.

Despite an extensive campaign to promote food safety among businesses, the number of outlets closed so far this year has risen to 18, up four on the same period last year.

Yesterday, the FSAI released details of four food outlets which were closed last month and two more which were issued with improvement notices.
