How do #FRS health & wellbeing need changes over the course of your career & what are the ongoing needs? Next week @TrentUni launch a sector-wide survey to map these needs across all careers. Pls complete & share the survey with colleagues when it is launched. @NFCC_FireChiefs

2 rulings issued by @ASA_UK against misleading nutrition claims. One by 2018 BBC The Apprentice candidate @daniel_elahi’s company Revival Shots, which claimed could boost immunity & implied covid-19 cure 👎🏻 & @skinnyfoodco for misleadingly claiming sauces (virtually) zero kcal 👎🏻
Read our latest batch of rulings asa.org.uk/codes-and-rulings… Including: A fast-tracked investigation into ads by Revival Shots that broke the ad rules by implying their food product could prevent, treat or cure human disease and implied it could help to cure COVID-19. Find out more.

Our nutritionist, Greg Lessons, made a tasty kedgeree! Yesterday we asked what you thought Greg could make with these basic items - did you guess right? We'd love to see your own homemade creations. Here's how to make Greg's kedgeree: orlo.uk/j8aFs #CookingWithGreg
