A top Chinese takeaway in Dublin city centre temporarily had to halt the cooking of duck spring rolls after they were served a partial closure order.

Xi’an Street Food on 28 Anne Street South, Dublin 2, was forced to cease part of the activities of its establishment, specifically the cooking of duck spring rolls, according to The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI). The HSE officer who issued the report listed evidence that the takeaway did not comply with Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point procedures.

They wrote: “There was a repeat failure to cook duck spring rolls thoroughly. During the inspection, it was observed that the core temperature of homemade duck spring rolls displayed uneven heat distribution, resulting in cool pockets in the core of the spring rolls as low as 36 degrees Celsius.

“Further investigation revealed that when the duck meat was probed, it registered at 56 degrees Celsius.” Discrepancies in temperature monitoring relate to inconsistent heat caused by varying ingredient sizes and temperatures.
