The Dealer notes that Ireland is to be audited by the EU health commission in 2019 on horsemeat, the sustainable use of pesticides, feed additives and ingredients.
I see that the Department of Agriculture is to be audited by EU health officials in 2019, to verify that processes in the food production chain in relation to horsemeat are in compliance with EU food law.
Poland, Romania and Belgium will all face the same audit. The countries selected are based on risk, I see.
Among other areas, the audit will look at the factories’ handling food of animal origin and the competent authorities (ie the Department) at the different levels involved in the organisation and performance of the official controls.
