	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 answer text <p>Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV), which is sometimes referred to as Alabama Rot, first emerged in the UK in 2012. The Animal and Plant Health Agency has been in touch from the start with the private veterinary group investigating the syndrome.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 answer text <p>The term ‘best before’ is used to indicate to consumers that the quality of the food may not be at its best after the date has expired. When used appropriately, and in line with the most recent guidance from the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), ‘best before’ helps ensure that consumers are able to make the best use of food and reduce waste.</p><p>The Government supports the valuable work done by WRAP in the UK to reduce food waste, which includes providing clear, thoroughly researched, sector-specific guidance on the application of ‘use by’ and ‘best before’ dates. WRAP’s recommendations are based on a large body of evidence and their work with food businesses, retailers and consumers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 27/01/2020 14:51:23 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
