Reposting from earlier as mods needed me to correct the title.

Quoted from rte
“The Food Safety Authority has served a notice on Iceland stores in Ireland to remove all imported frozen products of animal origin from its supermarket shelves going back to 3 March, and to recall the implicated products from consumers who bought them.

The reason for the notices are inadequate evidence of food traceability and alleged non-compliance with import legislation from non-EU countries.”

  1. Is this just a labeling thing or is it something worse? Have I been eating horse balls while thinking I was eating waffles?

  2. I remember trying Iceland food when they first opened in Ireland….how the hell does anyone eat that stuff??

    Aldi and Lidl are way better.

  4. I don’t get who shops at this place. The food is suspiciously cheap and looks incredibly processed.

  5. Given their shenanigans and secrecy about who is the owner and the actual employer and the necessity for employees to protest same ….. I can only imagine the sort of shit they’d pull with food origins etc.

    Thankfully I’ve never been to Iceland.

  6. Metron stores, the Irish franchisee, bought the Irish branches in February. This then happened in March. It looks like that whatever Brexit paperwork Iceland were doing before the sale was stopped by the new owners.

  7. I was in my local Iceland when it opened and I’ve been in a couple in the UK. I wouldn’t shop there, the food seems to be all processed frozen food of dubious quality. A bit like Aldi and Lidl were 20 years ago. Sadly some people have no choice but to shop in there.
