Have your say on ‘may contain’ labelling

22/01/2022 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

Does ‘may contain’ labelling affect you either because you are allergic yourself or because you buy food for someone who is? If so you will know how unsatisfactory the situation is and will rejoice that the Food Standards Agency are at last hoping to tackle it.  But before wading in they are consulting with allergy sufferers and those who make freefrom food – you, dear readers!

So please get involved…

Please, everyone who has any interest in/experience of making, buying or consuming ‘freefrom’ food, take half a hour to read the really excellent consultation pack and take part in the consultation. You will find:

  • The introduction to the project here – from which you can also find links to:
  • The very helpful Consultation pack here
  • The consultation itself here
  • Plus various other background documents that you might find helpful.

The consultation is open until 14th March.

You may remember that that I did post about this before Christmas but in case you missed it. It is so important that we really all do need to give our views.

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
