Recall of Irish Pork and Bacon Products: Statements
4:00 pm
Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)
I agree with the Deputy on her last point. On Sunday Bord Bia started to work on a new labelling system to allow people see that it was Irish pork post the recall — if one wants to call it that — on 7 December. As I said earlier to the Deputy's colleagues, we immediately put in place a trader notice on Sunday indicating that people could resume processing and moving product, obviously with the validation of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and the veterinary services of the Department or the local authority.
