An unregistered food business operating from a house in south Dublin was shut down after inspectors found water leaking from the bathroom onto the food preparation area.
The Closure Order was served by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland on Rilwan Fujah of 2 Brownsbarn Wood, Kingswood Cross, Dublin 22 on April 20.
A report into the closure detailed a number of breaches of food safety regulations.
The report found that the establishment had not been registered as a food business and goods had been placed on the market without the benefit of official controls.
As well as the water leaking onto the food preparation area, inspectors also found that there were no arrangements made for monitoring food temperature.
There was also a failure to provide written food information on to consumers on substances that may cause allergies and no HACCP safety measures had been implemented.
The report also found a lack of effective food traceability while there was also a lack of adequate food safety training.
Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive of the FSAI, said: “The operation of any unregistered food business will not be tolerated, and the full power of the law will be used to stop these food businesses from putting consumers’ health at risk.
"It is the responsibility of all food business owners to ensure that their food business is registered and operating in line with the legal requirements under food law.
"Consumers have a right to safe food and we would urge anyone who is concerned or suspect there is unusual activity being demonstrated by a food business, that they can contact us via our online complaint form at https://www.fsai.ie/makeitbetter/ and we will investigate."
