The Burren Smokehouse has been served a Prohibition Order under the Food Safety Authority of Ireland's (FSAI) 1998 Act.
A Prohibition Order is issued if the activities (handling, processing, disposal, manufacturing, storage, distribution or selling food) involve or are likely to involve a serious risk to public health from a particular product, class, batch, or item of food.
The effect is to prohibit the sale of the product, either temporarily or permanently. Overall, this order is only issued when there is a non-compliance with food legislation.
The order was served in February to Birgitta Curtin, owner of the Burren Smokehouse, which is located on the Kincora Road in Lisdoonvarna.
In a statement by the FSAI, they confirmed the following batches of the business' food products are set to be recalled and destroyed: 411712/429721, 413211/52221, 422411/51721, 321411/428921, 321613/428921, 327911/429121, 320913
and 27008.
