42 notifications since 1 January 2020 named the Northern Ireland as a country of origin, rank 85 of 163 origins. 14 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 8 in the 365 days before, up 75%. 2% were border rejections, where the consignment was stopped at the EU's outer border, against 30% for all origins.
The finding reported most often was Salmonella (9 notifications, 21%), then Listeria monocytogenes (5). The product category with most notifications was poultry meat (8). 45% carried a serious risk decision, against 52% for all origins.
Counts start on 1 January 2020 and run to 8 November 2026, the day the list was last read. A notification that names two countries of origin counts for each. Findings come from our word list matched against the EU subject line, which is never shown; 96% of all notifications match it, the rest count as other finding. Each reference links to the official record on RASFF Window. How this works.
