'If shops do think it's fine for two more days then just make the date longer'
'Milk goes sour and looks bad and smells bad before it does you bad'
Do you trust the 'sniff test' for gone-off food?

Me on breakfast TV this morning, talking about milk and whether you can use the #snifftest to see if it’s safe. A: yes, but because milk smells bad and looks bad before it does you bad. That’s not true for many other foods. Follow the advice on the packaging.

Thanks for such an informative visit. I've been wanting to visit Felixstowe ever since working on Brexit at Defra. Import controls are such a key part of of ensuring the UK has food we can trust, and Port Health Authorities' work is essential. You gave us a lovely welcome!

SCPHA welcomed the Chief Executive Officer and other high-profile representatives of @foodgov to show how import controls are carried out on food and animal-related goods at Britain's busiest container port.

My first appearance on a podcast. Listen to learn more about @foodgov and Brexit, Food fraud, how we work with local authorities, and my views about leadership. And why I once did 6 weeks of dance classes.

I wanted to share what I wore yesterday, for a @foodgov event, on #InternationalWomensDay2022 . I'm reminded by so much at the moment that the power of solidarity is tangible in the face of vulnerability. Women have known that for a long time. Thank you to all who went before.

A good reminder from the BPC. Avian influenza's already feeling bad this year.

Another reminder that excellent #Biosecurity is essential to 🤜 #AvianInfluenza. Fail to plan = fail to prevent disease spread = fail to protect your birds. Got any questions? Our #BiosecurityChecklist is here to help!

Two of my favourite things, citizen science and food, in one excellent initiative. If you are a bottle-feeding parent, an allergic consumer or simply someone who owns a chopping board (who doesn't?), then there is a project you can get involved with...take a look below!
16 Nov 2021
With @UKRI_news, @BBSRC and @ESRC we’re funding 6 citizen science projects exploring issues affecting the food system.
The public will be contributing to the evidence on which food policy decisions are made.
