Mattress, blankets and duvet observed by inspectors in ambient food storage unit of Wakami Sushi and Asian on Phibsborough Road
last month when inspectors found evidence of bedding and other personal items – face washes, oils and toothpaste – on the premises.
A report prepared by inspectors noted the presence of “significant” rodent droppings throughout the premises, including on shelves next to open food, and in areas where food was served. Inspectors also found gnawed food packaging. The report further noted that at “all stages of production, processing and distribution”, food was not properly protected against contamination, likely rendering it “unfit for human consumption”.
In the closure order issued to Shinu George, an inspector noted that as food was being prepared in a domestic residence, it did not “offer sufficient facilities and working space to allow for the hygienic performance, storage and cooking of high-risk foodstuffs for off-site catering”. “A grave and immediate danger to food safety exists in this food premises due to a complete failure to monitor and control all food safety hazards,” an inspector’s report noted.
Dr Pamela Byrne, chief executive at FSAI, said that abiding by food safety regulations was a legal requirement.
