We know that how businesses manage risk is influenced by a whole host of internal and external pressures, such as food regulations, consumers, insurance, media and also by pressures within the business. But which have the most impact?

I stumbled across a book purporting to have the cure to cancer – if only things were that simple! Fortunately I’m not the type of person that’s easily drawn in, but I was still intrigued to discover what the author thought this miracle cure was.

Being an evidence-based organisation, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that we look at our web metrics at regular intervals to find out what you’re looking for on the site and look at how we can make it easier for you to find. So we couldn’t help notice that ‘edible glitter’ made a new and surprising entrant in the top 10 search terms early in January. A month later and the enquiries are still coming in, with our helpline now getting calls too.

The news this morning that Sainsbury’s, in partnership with Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), want food relabelled so that it can be frozen up until its 'use by' date, not just on the day of purchase, is welcome, but not new. That uneaten chicken pie in the fridge is fine to go in the freezer right up until the 'use by' date. Our guidelines have always stated that it's fine to freeze food after the day of purchase as long as it has been correctly stored. We hope other supermarkets start highlighting this to their customers.
