Preparation for this Accessibility Statement

This statement was prepared on 27 June 2023 and last reviewed on 6 October 2026.

A formal quality assurance process was carried out by Kooba Internet Solutions Ltd., through the Irish Food & Drink website’s design process and with a combination of automated and manual accessibility audits, and the edits that derived from them, for the development process. A final verification audit was completed on 20 June 2023.

A continuous quality assurance process is carried out monthly by Kooba Internet Solutions Ltd. Axe Monitor tool by Deque is used to identify automated issues across up to 439 pages on irishfoodanddrink.com. Once automated issues are resolved, items flagged as “needs review” are manually verified by the Kooba team, followed by manual accessibility testing.
