SEVEN CLOSURE ORDERS were served on food businesses in Ireland last month for breaching food safety laws.
The HSE also carried out successful prosecutions against three takeaways in July.
Chief Executive of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, Prof Alan Reilly, said that vigilance is always required in food safety. Legally, the onus is on food businesses to ensure that the food they serve and sell is safe for consumption and each closure order undermines the industry “as a whole”, he added.
“While most food businesses are committed to high standards for the health of their customers, this is not always the case.”
We’re urging food businesses to make sure that they have a food safety management system in place and that it is consulted on a regular basis and updated, where necessary, to ensure non-compliance issues and breaches of food safety legislation do not occur.
The closure orders served last month were to the following food businesses:
All of the seven orders have since been lifted.
And the three prosecution carried out by the HSE in July were against:

Again. Well done to The Food Safety Authority
As a Restaurant Manager i would love to see the story no closure orders this month by the HSE ppl are copping on to food safety :D
Very little to do with the FSAI. Its HSE Health Officers that do the work The FSAI are just a mouthpiece Quango.
No FSAI employee ever did an inspection let alone serve a closure. Its the EHO’s that are employed by the HSE that do all the good work.
They did it before the FSAI and will do it after it’s gone.
Yes, well done, its a breath of fresh air to see people agreeing with you and not bashing government bodies trying to criticize seeing the glass half empty rather than half full just because they are angry with government. These are bodies set up before Enda and Bertie and they are doing a great job in my opinion. The food quality in Ireland is up to the highest standards, whoever has travelled abroad (not counting the UK) would know that
Ruposhi was on some list last month too, I’m guessing that they didn’t get their act together or implement whatever they were told to and have now been shut down.
I actually got a takeaway last month from Ruposhi. There was something as hard a stone in my rice and I never followed up on it, I just threw it out. Felt queasy when I heard they had a closure order last month. On the same note I ordered from Indian Taste in Ballybough a few weeks ago online too as it was delivering to my area. I’ve never gone past it. I don’t even eat that many takeaways. Sickening.
Golden Dragon ?
I recommended that place to a lot of friends who indecently haven’t spoke to me in a while. Uh Oh !!
incidentally… Indecently Brilliant
Awful stench of defeat on Clanbrassil Street. Actually Dundalk in general really.
Poof reading is utensil!
You should see Indian Taste on the Ballybough Road pass by it going to work everyday, I would say it gets business by idiots ordering directly from the likes of online ordering food websites cause if you went passed it you wouldnt let your dog eat in it. I understand what the closure orders do but what happens to the three re-offenders (Indian taste, Omni Wexford & The house Pizza)?
Serves anyone right if they eat in places like this. I wouldn’t mind if they were cheap but a takeaway costs at least 20 euro for two people, you could make dinners for four people for less and still have leftovers for a supper or lunch. These places love to see drunken Irish coming and serve them food not fit for dogs. I said it here before,the best reference for a chipper is off ex employees.
Officer – that is a rather silly comment, even by your standards.
Sorry, I will try better next time.
true Phil, seems the Irish fans of this junk still haven’t learned nor never will, they think it’s great. with over half the nation overweight i say… let them on! I’m laughing at them and these restaurants are too.
Food area in Omniplex Wexford smells like BO. I don’t know if it’s the food or the staff, but I’m glad I never buy anything from them.
The smell of piss in some of the the seats. Stay away from the back!!
Really surprised by the closure of Heavens Cakes…. Thought that was supposed to be a very nice place to get cake!
Me too.. Would recommend their cakes to anyone.. Really shocked!
The house pizza… Just looking at the place from the outside should turn you off it
Heavens cakes, english market, cork….things have gone down since the queen left!
Should the people responsible be named for this? they aren’t shy to name tax defaulters and this is a serious health issue.
Not sure I’d ever eat at a restaurant named monsoon.
I drove past ruposhi tonight and it was very much open. One of my colleagues ate there a couple of weeks back and wasn’t impressed.
The left that smell
have your say
