‘Basic human error’ was the cause of beef mislabelling at the Eurospar Tubbercurry store in Co Sligo, an investigation by the HSE has found.
“Following an inspection by an Environmental Health Officer, the HSE have confirmed that they are satisfied that basic human error was the cause of butchery product mislabelling at Eurospar Tubbercurry which the HSE deemed as minor non-compliances,” a spokesperson for Eurospar told the Irish Farmers Journal.
“Once notified of the issue, the store, with the support of Eurospar Ireland, took immediate steps, as instructed by the HSE, to retrain staff in labelling requirements and to implement more stringent policies to mitigate against future instances of error.

“We would like to assure customers that all beef and lamb products supplied by Eurospar Ireland’s distribution centre to its independent retailers are 100% Irish.”
Background
The HSE received two complaints via the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) in relation to beef labelling in two convenience store premises and began investigations.
The beef in question had the code 0922 beside the country of origin, reared in and slaughtered in on its labels. This was the case for a pack of boneless T-bone steak and a pack of stewing beef.
