The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued six Closure Orders to food businesses during December due to breaches of food safety legislation.
A Closure Order is served where it is deemed that there is or there is likely to be a grave and immediate danger to public health at or on the premises.
Some of the reasons given for the Closure Orders in December included rotten meat found stored on site, rodent droppings on packets of foods for sale, and staff not wearing protective clothing when preparing sandwiches.
