FSAI chief executive Dr Pamela Byrne: “There can be no excuse for putting consumers’ health at risk through negligent practices.
“Food businesses must recognise that they have a legal responsibility to make sure that the food they sell or serve is safe to consume.
“We are re-emphasising to all food businesses the need for ongoing and consistent compliance with food safety and hygiene legislation.
“This requires putting appropriate food safety management procedures in place and making sure they are strictly adhered to at all times.”
