Consumers buying Irish bacon and pork

CONSUMERS are back buying Irish bacon and pork in shops and supermarkets after last week’s product recall.

The vote of confidence in the meat is also being reflected in the renewal of orders for the estimated 1.5 million hams that will be consumed for the traditional Christmas dinner.

It is clear the assurances from the European Food Safety Authority and the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and other experts that there are no public health issues involved in consuming Irish pork products has been accepted by consumers.
