FSA wins case against two farmers over regulations
The FSA has successfully prsecuted a turkey farm in Essex and
a Cornwall-based dairy farmer over breachers in safety regulations.

drinking milk when the establishment was not registered by the relevant (FSA) competent authority".
The FSA also welcomes the prosecution of turkey farm GST
Ltd, of Braintree Essex, for operating its licensed abattoir last October without any official staffing controls in place.

Openshaws' range crackling with new products
Snack producer Openshaws has extended its pork scratchings and crackling portfolio with three new variants.
Black Pudding Pork Scratchings and BBQ Pulled Pork Crackling in 45g bags alongside Cumberland Sausage Pork Crunch in a
25g format (all rsp: 99p).
The crunch came with a higher volume price as it used different raw materials than the other lines and was cooked three times,
making it more expensive to produce said the business.
