Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Dr. Moffatt)

The information requested by the Deputy falls within the remit of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland which has statutory responsibility for this issue. I have, therefore, asked the FSAI to collate the information sought and to reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
