Malnutrition hits the UK: Canadean report. BBC findings suggest malnutrition is on the rise in the UK; a trend that could be due to insufficient education about balanced diet and hefty price tags on healthy food, Canadean says. As broadcast by the BBC recent health figures showed a 19% increase in the instances of people admitted to hospital with malnutrition over the past year. A recent survey from Canadean among 2,000 UK consumers, whose age was nationally representative, found that 26% of consumers lacked awareness of the link between malnutrition and poor nutritional intake.
Slightly more consumers (27%) failed to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, showing that even the well-known ‘5-a-day’ nutritional guidance was not being adhered to. Simplified nutritional labelling Speaking to Food Navigator Sam Allen, Canadean analyst, said while cost was of course an issue - the report found 40% of UK consumers believed grocery prices were rising - there were other things equally affecting consumer dietary habits.

The project Helping microbrewers in the East Midlands to develop bottled conditioned craft beers that can be exported, with a particular eye on China and South East Asia. The need A growing sector of the UK brewing industry relates to microbrewers who brew cask ales – a product worth £1.8bn and responsible for 45,000 jobs.
There are now more than 100 microbrewers in the East Midlands. Experts believe that at the current growth rate, the UK market may reach saturation point and brewers who rely solely on the domestic market could be more likely to fail. A number of independent craft brewers are now bottle conditioning beer and this provides an opportunity to export as, when correctly done, shelf-life remains good because oxygen is eliminated by the live yeast and flavour stability is enhanced as a result. However, with bottle conditioned beers, the final conditioning of the beer takes place in the bottle, which means that the quality can often vary considerably. Food and Drink iNet support.

US breakfast trends Nielsen: Deli sandwiches and biscuits. Deli breakfasts have boomed in the US as consumers seek faster, fresher alternatives to traditional ready-to-eat (RTE) cereal category, according to Nielsen. “Overall, US consumers are still eating breakfast. They’re just eating differently than in the past,” it wrote in its blog post. While cold RTE cereals continued to decline – in line with the 1.5% CAGR drop over the past five years – the $104.7m deli breakfast category had grown 7.9% CAGR over the past five years. This growth, Nielsen said, had been “driven by the strength and popularity of the breakfast sandwich”. Fresh n’ healthy on-the-go Nielsen said consumers were increasingly concerned about quality and freshness of breakfast products – a trend retailers and brands needed to keep in mind.
“Consumers have less time for planning and preparing, but they’re ever-focused on quality, taste and freshness. In addition, consumers were looking for a healthier way to start the day, the research firm said. Biscuits, bars and hot cereals. Eggs from Germany suspected source of Salmonella. An outbreak of Salmonella that has sickened at least 350 people has been linked to eggs produced in Southern Germany. France has reported 45 cases and Austria 31 in June and July, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)’s latest Communicable Disease Threats Report. Germany has seen 14 cases and Luxembourg just one that are potentially linked to the same outbreak. ECDC said investigations are ongoing regarding the potentially linked cases and an outbreak assessment will be available shortly. Total reported numbers have grown from 158 on 15 August to 247 last week, according to Public Health England (PHE).
The additional cases are not infections from the last seven days, but historical cases reported during that week. The agency said there is evidence to indicate that cases in Europe with the same strains of Salmonella infection were associated with consumption of eggs from a single source.

Global meat consumption will continue to boom but a consumer shift from price concerns to quality means meat processors need to step up marketing efforts, researchers warn.
Published in Meat Science, researchers from Ireland investigated meat consumption trends and identified consumer demands that would shape the future of the industry. The researchers said meat consumption would continue to grow in light of a generally favourable global economic situation and growing world population. In particular, they said white meat would overtake red meat in the category. Citing OECD data, they showed that poultry would overtake pigmeat as the most consumed meat in the world by 2022.
Despite this growth, the researchers said meat processors faced the hefty challenge of appealing to consumers in developed markets where animal protein intake would stagnate and concerns over quality rise.
