Two Munster outlets among food businesses hit with FSAI orders in January

Four enforcement orders were served on food businesses during the month of January, the FSAI has said.

Rodent droppings, raw meat being prepared in a handwashing sink and the failure to wash equipment were among the reasons food businesses were closed by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) in January.

The agency, which is responsible for ensuring food produced, distributed or marketed in Ireland complies with food safety and hygiene standards, issues enforcement and closure reports on businesses which fail either their own legislation or that of the EU.
