Alpro's decision not to combine the manufacture their nut and their soya milks on one line is very good news – not just for those mums of nut- and dairy-allergic children who campaigned so hard to make them change their minds, but for the allergen-free food world in general. (For …

Those who have been following the Alpro defensive nut warnings saga will be glad to hear that some progress has been made. (For those who have no idea what I am talking about, see  this post and this one.) An article in the Grocer on Wednesday told us that, 'following …

The Alpro saga may have been pushed off the front pages by the Addenbrookes  peanut allergy research but it has most definitely not gone away. (For anyone who does not know what I am talking about see my blog from on January 21st  or the AlproSOS Facebook page.) Alpro did …
