Taking a deep dive into the cause of these problems and discussing what needs to be done as we approach the busy Christmas and New Year period, Andrew Selley, CEO of Bidcorp UK and James Bielby, Chief Executive for FWD join the podcast.

The past 18 months have brought about a lot of change for the industry and fast approaching is one of the most notable and pressing changes – Natasha’s Law.

Natasha’s Law, more formally known as prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) requirements, comes into effect on Friday, 1^st October 2021. These changes will require food businesses to label PPDS food with a full list of ingredients containing emphasised allergens within, bringing the provision of allergen information in line with labelling for prepacked food.

In this episode, we delve deeper into getting ready for Natasha’s Law, exploring the hurdles and the opportunities as a result of the legislation changes. Our expert guests also provide their useful advice to support food service businesses in feeling prepared and confident going forwards.

Joining Joe Angliss as co-host for this episode is Natalie Bance, Senior PR and External Communications Manager, as well as guests Jim Cathcart, Policy Director at UKHospitality, and Samantha Elliott, Nutrition & Allergen Manager at Bidfood.
