The report that the Deputy is referring to is the "Report of the Food Safety of Authority of Ireland Audit to determine compliance with Labelling and Traceability Requirements". This was an internal report prepared by following a small scale audit undertaken by the Food Safety Authority (FSAI) in 2004, which drew attention to some deficiencies in traceability and labelling regimes.
The enforcement of food labelling legislation is included in the service contracts between the official agencies and the FSAI. The official agencies include the Health Service Executive, the Department of Agriculture and Food, the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, the Office of the Director of Consumer Affairs and the local authorities.
In discussions with my Department, the FSAI has confirmed that the official agencies were provided with a report on the premises under their supervision which were visited as part of the audit. Follow up action, by way of additional visits and inspections were undertaken, and I have been assured that the matters which required attention have now been rectified.
