Poll: Is there still a place for marmalade in your kitchen... and your heart?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Once upon a time, marmalade on toast was a winter staple. In our upcoming July issue though, gardening guru Lynda Hallinan says marmalade is in danger of extinction because fewer and fewer people are buying, making or eating it! So tell us: Do you still like marmalade? Yes or no, don't forget … View moreOnce upon a time, marmalade on toast was a winter staple.

Food safety and food control plans

Lynda from Bishopdale

Hello lovely neighbours, I’m offering $100 discount on a safe and simple Food Control Plan. Now if you’re not sure what this is, then let me explain.

Now if you’re not sure what this is, then let me explain. It’s basically a food safety certificate for people who are in the food business. The food safety legislation changed, which means that everyone, no matter how big or small your business is, or even if you bake cakes from your home kitchen, you must by law have a Food Control Plan and have it Registered. If you’re already setup as a food business but still don’t have a Food Control Plan, then next due date to be registered with your local council is the end of June. So, you still have time! If you go over that date, then you will be breaking the law and nobody can afford to do that in any business. If you need my help, advice or just want to talk over your business, please PM or call me. I’m also offering a free pre-audit to those that are unsure if they need to be registered. Total cost for Creating, Implement and Registering your Food Control Plan with discount is $695. 00 + GST. Hope this weather gets better. It really is miserable.
