Fears new environment tax will raise food prices

A new environmental tax on imported industrial goods such as fertiliser will lead to higher food prices, businesses have warned. From January 2027, sectors at risk of "carbon leakage" will be charged what they would have done had the goods been produced in the UK. The government, which confirmed the levy in last week's budget, said it would help tackle global emissions. However, a wheat farmer in Norfolk, said he feared UK food pr

Plans for Newhaven food waste facility abandoned

Plans to turn a former waste transfer site in Newhaven, East Sussex, into one that handles food waste have been abandoned.

Your preference for spicy foods may be all in your head

In my family, I am officially known as “Baby Spice.” No, my grown children are not comparing me to one of the Spice Girls, the pop music group that wowed young fans in the 1990s. I earned that moniker because I am a totalwimp wen it comes to eating anything remotely hot. “Are you sure that sauce isn’t spicy?” I ask without fail before I order in a restaurant. “Oh, no, not at all,” I am assured every time. When the meal comes, everyone at my table rolls an eye as I gasp and choke,

We have everything we need - food and friendship

“We’re people from different walks of life,” Peter Smith tell me as he waits for his three-course meal to be served. After spending the last 20 years volunteering in Africa, Peter found himself back on Yorkshire soil two months ago, without a roof over his head. The 69-year-old says his first visit a "necessity". "I didn’t have a cooker or hot water; I was starting from scratch." Across England and Wales, FoodCycle runs 93 community events each week where they serve

Billions aren’t eating enough of 7 critical nutrients. Here’s how to get them in your diet

Here’s the Terrifying Truth About Metal Shards in Your Food 2024-09-24

Kraft Foods is recalling 242,000 cases of its Macaroni & Cheese product because “metal shards” have been found in some boxes. The recall is getting lots of attention both because of the size of the recall and because the product is so popular. But contamination of food with foreign objects, and metal pieces in particular, happens more often than you might think. In January, Unibright Foods recalled about 50,000 pounds of prepared meat products that were shipped to seven U.S.

Genetically Modified Food: Cooking Light: My Gene-Free Thanksgiving

Mitt Matt makes great turkey!” My three-year-old nephew Jonny, who came up with this nickname himself, really dug my Thanksgiving dinner last year. And I can’t say I blame him. My spread pretty much rocked. Based on solid recipes and a lot of improvising (especially an aggressive basting regimen that made me feel as if I were on E.R.), I wound up with a boffo 18-lb. bird, two types of potatoes, assorted pies and dressings, and some great wines.This year, with the debate warming up over

Why One Dietitian is Speaking Up for ‘Ultra-Processed’ Foods

It all started in the summer of 2023, when author and infectious-disease physician Dr. Chris van Tulleken was promoting his book, Ultra-Processed People. While writing it, van Tulleken spent a month eating mostly foods like chips, soda, bagged bread, frozen food, and cereal. “What happened to me is exactly what the research says would happen to everyone,” van Tulleken says: he felt worse, he gained weight, his hormone levels went crazy, and before-and-after MRI scans showed signs of

The UN food agency has said it is pausing the movement of its staff in the Gaza Strip "until further notice" after its team came under fire near an Israeli checkpoint.

Freezer failure leads to £40k meat disposal

Up to £40,000 worth of Manx meat had to be thrown away last month after a freezer failed at the meat plant. Isle of Man Meats said the dumping followed the failure of an “older piece of equipment” in the week leading up to the weekend of 22 July.
