Nestlé to source only cage-free eggs by 2025

For the rest of the Americas, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania it will happen by 2025, with the move in Asia to be completed in the same transition period, as conditions allow. In some parts of the world, such as in Europe, over 40% of eggs used by Nestlé…

New Zealand vegetable prices have risen 31% since last year

Vegetable prices have risen a record 31 per cent in the past year, according to Statistics New Zealand.  The unusually wet weather this year has damaged crops and is responsible for most of the price hike. With vast areas of horticultural production land in the region, under threat from urban development, this means that the region will not be able to supply the horticultural production that the population of the area uses currently, from within the region, and this can only mean severe increases in the prices of fruit and vegetables. Many people are already finding it difficult to provide…

Good prices for spring crops in New Zealand but bad news for potatoes

The warmer spring weather is finally rewarding New Zealand with an improved supply and prices on new season asparagus, courgettes and strawberries.

Food Standards Approval Ignores Possible Dangers Of GE Potatoes.

Food Standards Approval Ignores Possible Dangers Of GE Potatoes.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), a trans-Tasman regulatory body, has approved 6 lines of GE potatoes (A1139) carrying genes from viruses and bacteria to stop discoloration and alter vital nutritional components [1]. The NZ Minister for Food Safety has let down NZ consumers yet again by failing to carry out a thorough public safety evaluation. The joint submission from GE-Free NZ and Soil and Health highlighted many studies that show harm from eating GE foods, which FSANZ has dismissed and ignored. [2] The FSANZ decision states, “No public health and safety concerns have been identified in relation to food…

Do you work with chilled foods?
The FoodBowl and DWC FoodTech are pleased to present a tailored one-day training course providing food manufacturers (and supporting industry) the practical information needed to manage heat processing options, health risks, guidelines and compliance. The continued rapid growth in consumer demand for chilled foods has seen a proliferation of a wide range of products utilising an increasing array of packaging and processing systems.

Terrible weather brings high vegetable prices across New Zealand

Terrible weather brings high vegetable prices across New Zealand
FreshPlaza | The link between weather and the price of vegetables has become all too apparent for shoppers in recent months. Grocery prices across New Zealand skyrocketed after back-to-back storms wiped out entire crops. In our household, we swapped kumara for potatoes, after prices nudged $9/kg. Kumara was just $3.12/kg in July 2016, according to Statistics New Zealand. It's been a terrible growing season for vegetable producers. This year's kumara crop was just one of the casualties. Planting was delayed by unfavourable weather conditions. The seedlings then struggled through a dry summer. The country's commercial crop is grown in Dargaville…

Gisborne to develop tropical fruit demonstration farm.

Gisborne to develop tropical fruit demonstration farm.
A move has begun to develop a tropical fruits demonstration farm in the Gisborne district with the initial focus on the potential for commercial banana production. Northland-grown bananas have been at markets in Northland for some time and the rising interest in their production led to the formation of the Tropical Fruit Growers of New Zealand (TFGNZ) group. That group has begun to explore and experiment with tropical fruit production in Northland with bananas as their first focus. The group has offered their expertise to the Te Nahu whanau Tai Pukenga Trust based in Papatu Road at Manutuke. “Looking for…
