UK food control body disappointed by government’s new economic plan
The British Food and Beverage Federation (FDF) said Chancellor Rishi Sunak had not done enough to help the sector with his plan for the country’s economy and protect jobs in the coming months, which was announced today (September 24).

The pandemic has had a much greater effect on some sectors of the economy than in others, sectors that would continue to help millions of viable jobs once a vaccine is received and social distance can end. when existing restrictions continue, we will avoid long-term high unemployment and the destruction of a sector that could otherwise help our economic recovery once the pandemic is over.

2 Sisters Coupar Angus services reopened
2 Sisters Food Group has reopened its Coupar Angus poultry processing plant in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, which temporarily closed in August after several workers tested positive for coronavirus.
The site, which stopped production on August 17 amid larger network groups in Perth and Kinross, reopened (August 31).
“Working hard with the incident control team, NHS Tayside and local authorities, we work hard to close the transition to complement our existing Covid-19 control measures to ensure the protection of all of our colleagues,” 2 Sisters said in a statement.
“While it is vital to make sure that our on-site measurements are physically powerful and effective, it is also incredibly vital that our workers perceive their off-site obligations in the local community, which, according to our initial analysis, played a vital role in the transmission of the virus. “
The company stated that all workers would get education and “good practice guides on issues ranging from transportation arrangements, community management, to Covid protection in a shared home. “
He added: “As one of the largest employers in the region, we are more than aware of our duty in the network to act carefully for the health, protection and well-being of all. “
