Closure orders for three sushi takeaways operating from one bedroom

Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive, FSAI said running an unregistered and therefore unsupervised food business is totally unacceptable and poses a very serious risk to consumers' health.

Three sushi takeaways found to be selling products from the bedroom of a house were among five closure orders served on food businesses last month for breaches of food safety legislation.

In October, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued three Closure Orders in relation to individuals running online unregistered and unsupervised food businesses selling a range of sushi products from the bedroom of a house.
