The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) stated that 106 Enforcement Orders were served on food businesses for breaches in food safety legislation in 2015, compared with 113 in 2014, a decrease of 6%. Whilst welcoming the reduction in numbers of Enforcement Orders needing to be served, the FSAI re-emphasises that the legal onus is on food businesses to act responsibly and ensure that the food they serve and sell is safe to consume. The FSAI warns that all food businesses must ensure they have robust food safety management systems in place and that enforcement officers will not hold back in taking swift action against any food business that fails to meet its legal obligations in this area.
