Re: New allergen label law

Re: New allergen label law

I spoke with tubz vending several weeks ago about this and they are sending out new stock with labels that comply with the allergens law.

Re: Breakfast Meeting?

Not surprised. You were right to have a look but even more right to refuse to join. I chair a community centre that had a similar operation. Attended once just to test the water . Like so many ideas they look good in concept but do not work in practice. The core idea was for the organising body to m...
