Reports: Time to count the hungry: The case for a standard UK measure of household food insecurity

The UK currently does not measure household food insecurity, defined as insufficient or insecure access to food due to resource constraint. The absence of regular, accurate data keeps the magnitude of the problem hidden, allowing for government inaction. Time to count the hungry argues that the UK would benefit from using a standard measure of household food insecurity, which could be used to monitor the problem as part of existing social and health surveys.

News: No cases of food on sale with misleading country of origin claims were identified in the investigation

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has published the results of a study which looked at the origin of foods claiming to be from the UK and Ireland. No cases of food on sale with misleading country of origin claims were identified in the investigation.  The study, which used a screening technique known as stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA), followed up with investigating traceability documentation. It examined 96 food samples (beef, pork, lamb, apple juice, tomatoes and honey). Samples were taken from mid-December 2013 to early January 2014.  The samples were mostly taken from retail or wholesale outlets, although four samples of raw beef burgers were obtained from caterers. The FSA said that the samples were not fully representative of the market but, within the limitations of a small study, provided a reasonable spread across retailers and across the UK. Samples were taken from both top end food ranges and economy ranges.
