Four Food Businesses Forced To Close In August
Four food businesses were served with closure orders in August.
The firms were found to be in breach of food safety legislation.
The restaurants were located in Louth, Wexford and Meath.
According to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), four Closure Orders were served under the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010 on:
• Riverview Takeaway (Closed activity: handling of raw kebab meat and raw chicken), Unit B, Molloys Building, Merchants Quay, Drogheda, Louth
• Lotus (restaurant) (Closed activity: supply of food to any other business), 70 South Main Street, Wexford
• O'Brien's (restaurant) (Closed activity: food business except the public bar area serving beverages in disposable containers. All water incorporated into drinks or ice to be brought in from a potable supply), Johnstown Village, Johnstown, Navan, Meath
• Pizza Point (takeaway), Main Street, Dunshaughlin, Meath
Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive of the FSAI, said: "It is essential for food businesses to have a strong food safety culture in their business, which can be achieved through ongoing staff training. Food businesses need to comply with the law and there are no excuses for failure to do so. Food safety inspectors are continuing to encounter basic errors being made by food businesses which are easily avoidable."
