Additionally, another closure order was served to Mrs Beltons Farm Produce in Black Ditch, Brittas Bay, Wicklow on April 25 which was lifted on May 5.
Some of the enforcement orders issued in April across Ireland included failure to have effective traceability systems and procedures in place, inappropriate storage of raw materials and ingredients, a reliance on room temperature to cool foods, operating without registration or approval, and failure to implement and maintain food safety procedures.
Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive, FSAI said: "The Enforcement Orders in April show that some businesses have committed serious breaches of food safety procedures.
"Food businesses must have the appropriate registration and/or approval in place before they start to produce and place food on the market.
"This requirement means that food businesses will be registered and/or approved with the appropriate inspection agency to ensure food safety and protect consumer health.
"Consumers have a right to safe food and food businesses have a legal requirement to ensure that the food they are processing, serving or selling is safe to eat.”
