On June 20th, an interim examiner was appointed to the company that operates Iceland stores in Ireland, Metron Stores Limited.
This followed the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) serving a notice on the company on June 15th for the immediate withdrawal of all imported frozen food of animal origin which had been brought into Ireland since March 3rd.
It also directed the company to recall implicated products from consumers.
The was due to inadequate evidence of traceability, and because there had been a number of incidents of non-compliance with import control legislation in relation to frozen foods of animal origin.
