290. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the steps he has taken with relevant US authorities since it was reported that a product (details supplied) has been withdrawn from retail outlets in Wisconsin; the direct contact that has been made with relevant authorities to ensure this product is available for consumers to purchase; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI am aware of this issue which relates to the implementation of local laws in the state of Wisconsin. Officials in my Department, including our Agricultural Attaché at the Irish Embassy in Washington, have kept in close contact with the company concerned to try and facilitate a solution and I understand that a solution to the problem is now close to finalisation. Once the technical steps are complete it should see the resumption of the sale of the product concerned again.
