FSAI recognise the important role of Creme

When the Irish government issued a recall in December 2008 of all Irish pork products dating back to 1st September 2008, it sent shockwaves through the agricultural industry, particularly the embattled pig production and processing sector.

The recall had the potential to destroy the Irish pork industry with the loss of millions of euro and countless jobs coming into the festive season.

Recently however, the European Commission praised the response of the Irish authorities to the crisis in December 2008. This view has been supported by the country's largest pork processor, Kerry Foods, who have suggested that the swift action taken by the FSAI will safeguard the international reputation of Ireland's food industry (see Just-Food, Ireland Food and Drink Report Q1 2009).

In turn, the FSAI has recognised the important role of Creme in minimising the impact on the industry and on consumer health.

Food Safety Authority Ireland - Testimonial:

"Using Creme Food, the Food Safety Authority Ireland (FSAI) was able to quickly address consumer health concerns by showing worst case scenario exposure assessments as well as more refined assessments and calculate the additional body burden of Irish consumers from the beginning to the end of the crisis. This information enabled the FSAI to take swift action and risk to public health and damage to the agriculture sector was minimized."
