Welcome to this week's newsletterEditorial: Food Safety Concerns at Border Checks after Government Cuts
The closure of the VION Foods pig meat processing plant Halls of Broxburn is set to go ahead as the company has rejected two offers of a bail out, which it said were not viable and would not take into account the workforce.
We have 5 new features this week: Irish Chilled Ready Meals Market According to latest data from Kantar Worldpanel, the performance of the total grocery market in the Republic of Ireland has remained flat during the 52 week period to 2 September 2012, writes Linda Cullen from the Food and Beverages Division, Bord Bia – Irish Food Board. Effect of Marinating Chicken Meat with Lemon, Green Tea and Turmeric Against Foodborne Bacterial Pathogens Some combinations of plant extracts of lemon, turmeric and green tea were effective in killing or reducing Campylobacter strains and Salmonella on chicken breast fillets, according to new research from the University of Arkansas. Salmonella in Feedingstuffs and Animal By-Products Of the almost 45,000 tests carried out on feedingstuffs and animal by products in Great Britain last year, fewer than one per cent were positive for Salmonella, according to the 2011 edition of 'Salmonella in Livestock Production in GB', an annual publication from the Veterinary Laboratories Agency. PUFA Enrichment in Laying Hens Feeding hens different levels of a dietary source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), researchers in Edmonton, Canada, found significant differences in egg PUFA level after 12 days without an effect on the PUFA concentration in the hens' plasma. PUFAs can have beneficial effects on human health and raising their concentration in eggs is one way to boost people's intake of PUFA. How Fresh is Fresh? Perceptions, Experience when Buying, Consuming Fresh Cod Most of us do not buy fresh fish that were caught more than three days ago. But if we do not know the date of capture, we are devouring fish that is often far older, says Nofima Scientist Jens Østli, and colleagues, who invited over 400 fishing customers in Norwegian supermarkets to answer how old does frozen fish have to be before they would stop buying it. ![]()
