Following announcements from M&S, Sainsbury's, Co-Op and Tesco that they will no longer require that the farm animals in their supply chains are fed a non GM diet, Peter Melchett, Policy Director of the Soil Association tells us how the supermarket giants are misleading the customers.
Next time you pick up your make-up brush consider this; many beautifully packaged products in the market place actually contain irritating and even damaging ingredients such as talc, dyes, mineral oil, parabens and even petroleum. Just because something says it is "natural" it does not mean that it is naturally good for you. That's why jane iredale - The Skin Care Makeup® combines up-to-date colours for every complexion or ethnicity in a formulation that offers serious skin-care benefits.
Alongside existing charitable link-ups Green People has found a new ally in its commitment against the use of chemical ingredients in personal care products and has joined forces with the Marine Conservation Society (MCS). To help raise awareness of the work that the MCS do, Green People will donate 30p from the sale of every Adult Scent-Free SPF25 Sun Lotion and Children’s Scent-Free SPF25 Sun Lotion to this worthy cause.
Competition now closed. Congratulations to Sophie Davies (Stafford).
How often is the free-from section in your local supermarket dominated by sugary snacks? Following a free-from diet can often mean you have to miss out on savoury snacks, with many producers relying on sugar and fats to replace the omitted ingredients. Well, now UK based Melia Organic LLP have launched Porkilicious®... and this free-from snack is not only tasty and savoury but lower in fat. The benefits of 100% organic produce means Porkilicious has 30% reduced fat compared to its non-organic competitors and contains less than 100 calories per pack.
