fridge Selection of sauces

Brits in pickle

over sauce in

fridge labels

Brits could be filling their
refrigerators with condi-
ments that could be kept
in the cupboard.
Food labels often
suggest refrigerating a
number of sauces.
But some of the advice
may just be over-cautious
or only help the foodstuffs
to retain colour.
Consumer group
Which? consulted experts
who said ketchup, brown
sauce and pickle can be
kept in the cupboard.
However, this does not
apply to everything, partic-
ularly products with egg
among its ingredients such
as salad cream or mayo.
A survey of 444 members
found that only 20% always
check the label advice on
such products.
A Which spokesman
said: “Use by dates should
be strictly adhered to.”

Snared, bludgeoned

& stamped to death

they are inherently cruel. i think there is

a situation here where authorities need

to step up. in terms of David sneade, he

needs to stop – now.”

Claire Bass, of Humane society inter-

national UK, said: “the legal loophole

that allows foxes to be snared and killed

for fur needs to be closed.

“the UK banned fur farming because

it is morally unjustifiable to subject

animals to appalling suffering in the

name of frivolous fashion and vanity.

“We clearly need to extend that legis-

lative precedent to ban the trapping of

wild animals for fur as well as the use of

inhumane and indiscriminate trapping

devices, such as snares, for any reason.”
