The FSAI release a monthly update of closure orders which can be found on their website. Establishments are served closure orders under the FSAI Act when it is deemed that the place might cause a grave or immediate danger to public health.
The Closure Orders served under the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations 2010 are served where there is a non-compliance with food legislation.
Just this week, the FSAI warned caterers and restaurant owners of the ‘serious food poisoning outbreak’ presented by beef burgers.
They reported that a number of people have fallen ill due to a serious food poisoning outbreak associated with undercooked beef burgers in a catering establishment.
Reportedly, 3% of raw minced beef used in Ireland is known to be contaminated by a particularly harmful type of E.coli which has been known to cause kidney failure.
