The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has published its monthly report, detailing thirteen Enforcement Orders were served on food businesses during the month of September. The orders were for breaches of food safety legislation in the FSAI Act, 1998 and the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010.
The Enforcement Orders were issued by environmental health officers in the Health Service Executive (HSE) and by veterinary officers in Louth County Council, on the following businesses:
- Starbucks (restaurant/café), 21 Great Georges Street, Waterford

One Prohibition Order was served under the FSAI Act, 1998 on:

“These Orders are never served for minor food safety breaches,” said Dr. Pamela Byrne, chief executive of the FSAI. “They are served on food businesses only when a serious risk to consumer health has been identified or where there are a number of ongoing breaches of food legislation. They tend to relate to a grave hygiene or operational issue.
“The suite of powers afforded to food inspectors working on behalf of the FSAI are in place to fundamentally protect consumers and restrict a food business from supplying food where there could be a risk to the safety of that food.
“There can be no excuse for putting consumers’ health at risk through negligent practices,” Dr. Byrne added.
