To reassure consumers, the use of a new label for Irish pork and bacon products has been authorised. This applies both to products produced before 1st September and after 6th December 2008, and in addition products during this period that the food control agencies have verified as being unaffected by the contamination. Only pigs certified by veterinary officers from food control agencies as being free from the contaminant will enter the food chain and carry this label.
