12% Increase in Food Safety Enforcement Orders in 2011

sunnibha — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:33:48 +0000

The FSAI have just announced that there was a total of 82 enforcement orders issued in 2011 for breaches of food safety. This compares with 73 in 2010, which is an increase of 12%. There were 5 Enforcement orders served in December. It is reassuring to see the Environmental Health Officers taking their roles seriously and ultimately protecting the public from unsafe food! Food business owners must protect themselves and the public from unsafe food being prepared and served which can have very serious consequences.

I attended the oriel B2B breakfast meeting today in Finnabair Industrial Estate on Tuesday morning. There was a great turn out for the start of the New Year and an excellent presentation from Paddy Malone fron “Malone accountants”. If anybody is interested in attending as a guest I would be very happy for you to come along with me. You are welcome free of charge to see how it works and decide if it is something you would like to be involved in. I would encourage anybody starting on their own or working on their own to come as a guest….it is a great way to meet others and also learn from other business ideas. The next meeting is January 24th at 7.15am and SMC Food Safety Consultants will be making the company presentation aaghhh!!
