All food businesses are obliged by law to put into place a HACCP Food Safety Management System to comply with current Food Safety Legislation in Ireland. They are also obliged to ensure that all staff/food handlers have received HACCP Food Hygiene training commensurate with their duties.
Enforcement
The FSAI (Food Safety Authority Ireland) and the Health Service Executive (HSE) are charged with the enforcement of Food Safety legislation and it's inspectorate has far reaching powers. The task of enforcement is shared with local city/county councils, the Dept of Agriculture Food & the Marine, the Marine Institute and the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority.
