✂️ We’re cutting unnecessary red tape and costs. Egg producers and packers in England and Scotland will no longer need to change how free-range eggs are labelled when mandatory housing measures are in force to protect the health of birds during an outbreak of bird flu. This move will strengthen supply chain and maintain the provision of free-range eggs for consumers. Read more: https://lnkd.in/erdEFu2x

New controls announced today will restrict personal imports of certain sheep and goat products into Great Britain, due to outbreaks of Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in central Europe. PPR is not a risk to human health but is a highly contagious disease affecting goats and sheep. These measures will protect against outbreaks reaching our shores.

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome the new Minister of State for Food Security and Rural Affairs, Daniel Zeichner to FareShare South West in Bristol to see the incredible work that they do to support communities across the West Country! 🍏 The government have made it very clear that they have a commitment to a zero waste Britain, which we are fully behind. They have a focus on reducing food poverty, tackling inequality, and improving sustainability, and we’re looking forward to joining them on that journey. Thank you so much to Minister Zeichner and the team at Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for visiting us! 💚
