Here’s a sneak peak at one of our latest stories. Thirty years after an infamous salmonella scare, the UK’s Food StandardsAgency (FSA) has cleared ‘Lion Mark’ eggs as safe to eat for pregnant womenand young children.Previously, pregnant women, young children and other vulnerable groups hadbeen advised by the FSA not to eat raw, soft boiled or runny eggs for fear ofcontracting salmonella.Now, however, the FSA has updated its advice claiming that all eggs stampedwith the ‘Red Lion Mark’ – i.e. almost all those produced in the UK – are nowfree from the food poisoning bug.The advice follows a major vaccination programme as well as overallimprovements to animal welfare.The British Lion Mark was originally introduced as a means of tracking and tracingeggs back to the original farm and as a means of indication best-before dates.In many ways this was ahead of current industry trends which are increasinglyfavouring track and trace technology.DiaryFood & DrinkNovember1, Management of Global Product RecallWebinar, online1-2, Lab Innovations, Birmingham NEC7, Food-to-Go Conference 2017, London 8, Farm Business Innovation Show,Birmingham NEC8-9, MinnPack, USA13-15, International Conference on FoodScience and Technology, Rome15, European Pizza and Pasta Show 2017,London 19-21, Fresh Summit, USA19-22, Australasian Pig Science AssociationConference, Melbourne 21-23, Food Matters Live, ExCeL London28-30, Food Ingredients Europe, Germany29, Food East Africa, Kenya 30, Dairy Vision LADC 2017, BrazilDecember4-7, Plastics & Paper in Contact withFoodstuffs 2017, Germany8, Beverage Digest Future Smarts, New York Pick up a copy of Food & DrinkInternational at this event54_Layout 1 20/10/2017 15:25 Page 155_Layout 1 20/10/2017 15:26 Page 1Please visit us on stand 08.0L57 on28 - 30 November 201756_Layout 1 20/10/2017 15:26 Page 1Next >
