Did any of our Members see the Channel 5 programme that aired last night - 'Fresh V's Frozen - Which is better?', with our very own Rupert Ashby?
Chief Executive of the British Frozen Food Federation promoting, representing and supporting companies across the UK’s frozen food industry
Want a short break from the Olympics this evening? I have just the tonic! Channel 5 at 8pm tonight is the place to be to find out 'Fresh vs Frozen - Which is better?' British Frozen Food Federation members Nomad Foods and one of our good friends Kate Hall will feature. There might even be a guest appearance from me.....if I did not hit the cutting floor too hard. The Olympics notwithstanding, your only other options on the main channels are 'Why bridges collapse, 'Emmerdale' and 'Supervet'. Don't watch them, spend a happy hour finding out all about the superb benefits of frozen food, and ultimately 'which is better' ! PS - You will have to tell me the result however as it is on at the same time I am picking up my family from the airport so I won't be able to watch it. #FrozenFood #ThinkFrozen
The BFFF are delighted to have joined The Move to -15°C, a global coalition campaigning for a review of the temperature at which frozen food is stored and transported. As part of the coalition, the federation will represent its 300 members at this forum. Views across our membership will vary and depend on so many factors, such as where they sit in the supply chain, the type of product they produce, and whether they import or export, and so on. Whatever the view, It will be vital that we know what it is and can put them forward. Rupert Ashby, CEO of the British Frozen Food Federation, said: “For a hundred years frozen food has brought a host of benefits to consumers and businesses, locking in nutritional value and offering greater quality and a variety of products at more affordable prices. It also has a major role to play in reducing food waste, something that is a major environmental challenge. “If the science and evidence show that the industry can increase temperatures, it would allow our industry to continue delivering these advantages while also achieving further cuts in carbon emissions, and that’s why we’re joining the Move to -15°C Coalition on our members’ behalf.” If you would like to learn more or to join the coalition directly, there is more information at https://bit.ly/3AcFoiU Read the official press release here: https://bit.ly/3WBf2OY
