Laois Food Business Shuts Down After FSAI Issues Closure Order

The FSAI found mislabelled goat meat and unlabelled, untraceable Nigerian imports.

A food shop in Laois has been issued with a closure order by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland.

EB Food Essentials in Portlaoise must cease trading after being found to be unregistered.

This means official controls have not been carried out to verify compliance with food law.

Upon an inspection the FSAI discovered mislabelled goat's meat, and a number of foods imported from Nigeria without label information or traceability.

The food included 35 bags of snails, seven bags of catfish, and five bags of dried prawns.
