| FSAI Report: Waste Incineration and Possible Contamination of the Food Supply with Dioxins |

October 13, 2003 - Waste Incineration and Possible Contamination of the Food Supply with Dioxins.
A priority task for the Food Safety Authority of Ireland since it was
established in 1999 has been to monitor the food supply for contamination by
dioxins. A number of studies carried out by the FSAI over the past 3 years on
foods likely to be contaminated by these environmental pollutants have concluded
that levels in Irish-produced foods are extremely low and that consumers of
these foods are not at risk. This report (which followed a discussion paper on
the issue) was prepared at the request of the FSAI Board and the Food Safety
Consultative Council. It aims to respond to consumers' concerns regarding
possible contamination of food supplies with dioxins as a result of waste
incineration. .
