The Iceland supermarket franchise in Ireland's Republic of Ireland is currently under examinership.
Examinership, which in the UK is referred to as administration, is a procedure that gives a financially troubled company time to look for new investment.
Since March of this year, Metron Stores Ltd. has been in charge of running the Iceland stores in the Republic of Ireland.
The business was given a directive last week to stop importing any frozen foods with an animal origin.
The order, according to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), applied to goods brought into the Republic of Ireland as of March 3.
Additionally, the FSAI instructed the business to recall the problematic products and gave consumers the go-ahead to avoid eating any of the problematic foods.
According to the authority, the retailer's imported frozen foods had "inadequate evidence of traceability.".
Foods of animal origin are any goods made with ingredients derived from animals, including dairy, meat, fish, and eggs.
Although there have not been any reports of illnesses linked to the products in question, the FSAI stated that there have been "breaches of food legislation and in the interest of consumer protection, this action has been taken.".
The problems at Metron Stores do not affect Iceland's stores in Northern Ireland, which are still directly owned and run.
The Currency news service was the first to report on the examinership. is external.
