		<description><![CDATA[What an interesting article in the European Cleaning Journal that reports on a study about poor hand hygiene within healthcare workers who wear gloves! This hazard is something also recognised within the food industry of course. We have seen with our own eyes the lack of hand washing and significant potential for cross contamination caused by catering workers wearing gloves [...]]]></description>

Investigations are ongoing but it seems to us that this one may slip away. The fact that only one jar was implicated is something [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The UK Food Standards Agency reports that the new Food Information Regulation has been published by the EU. This has been designed to make labelling clearer to the consumer. Most of the requirements will be mandatory from 2014 with the nutrition labelling part becoming mandatory from 2016. This may seem a long way off but those who manufacture long shelf [...]]]></description>

It looks like good progress so far with 180 local authorities publishing over 140,000 ratings from 0 (urgent improvement required) to 5 (very good standards of food hygiene). Now it just needs rolling out properly to the [...]]]></description>

This is a fairly basic and avoidable error. Let&#8217;s hope that the Issue 6 BRC Standard requirement to look at root cause when things like this happen will help. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The European Cleaning Journal contains an interesting article about consumer attitudes to staff hygiene in restaurants. It generally showed that there is still, overall, a low level of consumer confidence about food hygiene in restaurants and fast food outlets. Tork washroom products manufacturer SCA commissioned a survey of 4000 Europeans and found that 59% considered that restaurant and fast food premises should look clean [...]]]></description>

The recall of Lloyd Grossman sauce has, according to the latest from the FSA, affected only one jar of the entire batch. The toxin that causes the illness is very easily destroyed by normal cooking and again that can be verified by the a linked article issued [...]]]></description>
