      Generally speaking Europe has the most strict laws on hygiene and quality of food, Danmark and Italy have even more severe laws then the rest of Europe.
      Ireland has also good level of food security so all the food you can find here is surely of good quality.

      I guess local foods are better for you since it may be less processed if it was produced locally compared to food from other countries which have to go through more processing to keep it fresh before it reaches you. But that said, there are certain foods that we cannot get in Ireland, which is why they are imported from other countries.
