DNA survey for IFA finds good compliance at retail level, but worse performance from service sector

The remaining 401 samples were tested from the Irish food service, which included 34 individual outlets. It is estimated that these companies have a combined reach of 2,600 locations nationwide.

Mr Cullinan said there has been progress in the retail sector since the DNA survey system was established 11 years ago. “It’s about supporting jobs, and I think it’s very important, like all sectors in agriculture, supporting jobs in rural Ireland, supporting people to stay in rural Ireland, has never been more important,” he added.

The survey also showed the breakdown of pork products being offered by the food service outlets and how they ranked, with premium cuts of pork testing the best at 85 per cent Irish.
