Two directors of a company involved in the Euro Freeze fraud case
are going to jail for four months after being found guilty
yesterday of breaching Ireland's food safety laws.
Euro Freeze (Ireland) has received a £13,000 (€19,000) fine after
being prosecuted in a UK court for illegally putting false health
certificates on meat products.
A new round of court hearings against two processors, and the
possible consideration of chargesagainst a third, indicates that
the UK regulator is taking a tougher approach to breaches of
foodsafety law.
The search for mislabelled meat products in the UK continues, with
the country's food regulator calling on buyers to be on the lookout
for frozen chicken wings originally sourced from Euro Freeze
(Ireland) Ltd.
Northern Ireland's coldstores are all due to get a visit from Meat
Hygiene Service (MHS) auditors, as the investigation into Euro
Freeze and the use of illicit health certifications continues.
