Last update: 8 hours ago

Food security & resilience: The National Audit Office warns Defra hasn’t done enough to help households, communities and businesses prepare for food-supply shocks, as risks from extreme weather, disease and cyber-attacks grow. Retail & pricing pressure: UK shop price inflation hits a two-year high, adding to cost-of-living strain. Baby formula scrutiny: Kendamil’s parent Kendal Nutricare has been ordered to drop health claims after a watchdog found they weren’t backed by scientific evidence. Food safety: Salmonella cases linked to imported eggs continue to rise, with health chiefs urging people to check what they eat. Dairy & sustainability: Barry Callebaut launches its first three-year dairy partnership with Arla, starting with UK skimmed milk powder, to cut emissions via farm-level data. Animal health: Bluetongue is confirmed in a heifer in Wexford, with vaccination urged for unvaccinated herds. Local food & hospitality: Greggs explains why many pastries are served lukewarm/cool to avoid VAT “pastry tax” and keep prices down. Industry investment: AAK secures £2m to expand its Hull plant oils refinery, supporting food-industry supply chains.
