News: The Hospital Food Standards Panel
The panel, which was set up by the Department of Health in December 2013, has published its report and recommends five legally-binding food standards for food served and sold in hospitals in England. The five recommendations were selected from over 50 food quality standards. The panel has also recommended all hospitals develop a food and drink policy that aims to encourage healthy eating, high-quality food production, sustainability and excellent nutritional care. According to the Department of Health, hospitals that do not meet the standards will be in breach of their commissioning contract (usually held with a clinical commissioning group), and commissioners will therefore be able to take contractual action against them.

News: New food and drink buying standard
The Prime Minister has announced a new food and drink buying standard – ‘The Plan for Public Procurement’. The voluntary Plan involves the use of a scorecard and an e-marketplace and focuses on: provision of a toolkit which enables food procurers to consider a variety of factors when making decisions about procurement; working with industry, procurers, researchers and farmers to support opportunities for British grown produce and food within the public procurement market; ongoing work to develop the toolkit through five different working groups covering procurers, suppliers, research and technology bodies (focusing on innovation), assurance schemes and Local Enterprise Partnerships. Public sector buyers will now judge potential suppliers against five key criteria: how food is produced and whether the food was produced locally; the health and nutritional content of food purchased; the resource efficiency of producing the food, such as water and energy use and waste production; how far the food bought meets government’s socio-economic priorities such as involvement of SMEs.
