🚨 You may have seen in the news last week that 16 enforcement orders were served on food businesses in September due to pest control issues. 🐜🐭 As a food business operator, it's vital to have adequate pest control procedures in place to protect your business and customers. 🧑🍳 We’ve created a Breakfast Bite video focusing on best practices for pest control management ✅ ➡️ Watch the video here: https://ow.ly/3vwc50TMtQm and ensure your business stays pest-free! #FoodSafety #PestControl #FSAI
16 Enforcement Orders were served on food businesses in September. The Enforcement Orders were issued by Environmental Health Officers in the Health Service Executive. Some of the reasons for the Enforcement Orders in September include: a live rodent running across the floor of a food storage room; a dead rodent caught in a snap trap in a kitchen; clear evidence of a rodent attack on a bag of rice, along with bird droppings, feathers, and a dead bird present on the premises; active cockroach infestation beneath a cold service display unit storing uncovered food; inadequate procedures in place to control pests; repeated failure to cease handling raw meat in a premises which could not accommodate the safe storage, handling, preparation, and cooking of meat; lack of adequate, regular and thorough cleaning; no hot water, no soap and no facilities provided for hand washing and drying at the wash hand basin in the kitchen; persistent and recurring failure to comply with food hygiene legislation, demonstrating a complete absence of a food safety culture; false or misleading claims on a number of food products.
