Reports: European food law is on our side! How the EU Public Procurement Directive supports sustainable food

This fact sheet is published by Good Food for Our Money, which is campaigning for compulsory health and environmental standards in public sector food. Some public sector institutions say that they believe that European public procurement rules stop them from specifying environmental, ethical, health, social and animal welfare ('sustainable food') criteria in catering contracts paid for from the public purse. This fact sheet shows that in fact, both EU law and UK government policy strongly support sustainable food procurement in the public sector.

Reports: Good Food Training for London: What we have learned

Good Food Training for London was set up in 2007 to provide free-of-charge food skills training to around 1,000 catering, procurement and other staff in schools, hospitals, prisons and care settings in London. The Mayor's London Food Strategy recognised that to secure benefits to health, the environment and the London economy, catering staff needed the skills and knowledge to plan, prepare and serve healthy, seasonal and locally-produced menus. Based on practical experiences of what works and analysis of the barriers to change, this report develops recommendations for future training policy, next steps for the training project and practical activities for London and the wider public sector.

Reports: Junk food for babies? An investigation into foods marketed for babies and young children

The UK baby food market is worth an estimated £315 million annually, and many food products marketed for babies and young children carry claims about their nutritional value, such as 'added vitamins', 'contains calcium' or 'no added salt'. Prompted by the discovery that a leading brand of biscuits for babies and young children contained trans fats, the Children's Food Campaign undertook a survey of foods marketed for babies and young children, analysing the nutritional information provided for 107 foods marketed for babies and young children available from UK supermarkets. The findings were concerning.
