Shocking food price rises are concern for millions, says Which?
"Our own research has found a similar picture of many people trading down to cheaper ranges and an increasing number taking more drastic actions, like even skipping meals.
“Supermarkets have the ability to make a real difference to hard-hit households by ensuring everyone has easy access to basic, affordable food lines at a store near them, particularly in areas where people are most in need.
“Promotions should be targeted at those who need them most and people should be able to easily compare the price of products to get the best value.”

Meet Your New Best Friend, Phizz
London-based start-up, Phizz (www.phizz.co) creates everyday life armour with their trio of 3-in-1effervescent tablets that combine a hydration formula, electrolytes, and a comprehensive multivitamin (RRP £8 per tube of 20 tablets).
The young, science-led team is working with a Swiss research laboratory to develop innovative all-in-one health supplements that are formulated to support daily wellbeing, exercise, travel, and nights out.
Unlike other effervescent brands, Phizz is both a multivitamin and a rehydration remedy, helping you to thrive every day, covering you across three main pillars:
Hydration
Dehydration and vitamin deficiencies are two common, daily challenges that can negatively affect our physical and mental health. Just 1% dehydration can lead to fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps and concentration loss
Electrolyte Replenishment
Phizz contains the four key electrolytes, lost through sweat, that are needed to support nerve and immune system function, and prevent cramping and muscle fatigue
High Dose Multivitamin
Phizz offers eighteen essential vitamins and minerals for natural energy, reduction in fatigue, normal functioning of the immune system, mental performance and to repair cellular damage
We wake up every day with two basic health goals, to eat a well-rounded diet that achieves all our nutritional requirements and to drink enough water; busy modern life, travel and high-performance sport all get in the way of achieving these goals, and without optimal nutrients and hydration, you're not your best self. Phizz 3-in-1 is a small but mighty tablet (available in Orange, Apple & Blackcurrant and NEW Mixed Berry), that helps you get one step ahead of your immune, energy, focus and hydration goals.
Phizz's science-backed formula helps triple your water intake (compared with drinking water alone), delivers natural energy, and supports your immune system. Just dissolve one tablet in a glass or bottle (best served chilled!).
Phizz is perfectly balanced with 18 quality and high-dose vitamins and minerals designed to boost your natural energy (thanks to a B-12 and B-6 vitamin hit, which also help aid metabolism), 375% of your daily dose of immune-boosting vitamin C (the equivalent of three oranges) and four key electrolytes, often lost through sweat. Phizz also packs a self-care punch with zinc (more than in three cups of spinach), potassium (more than in one banana) as well as other powerful antioxidants (detailed in the chart below).
Phizz can be built into your everyday routine, or for more targeted needs, you can supplement with Phizz to combat tiredness, support an active lifestyle and marathon training, rapidly rehydrate after a big night, beat jetlag and support the body in hot climates.
Dehydration can have significant effects on physical performance; drinking Phizz prior to exercise can lead to reduced fatigue, cramps, and thirst, as well as increased energy and stamina. This is particularly relevant to endurance events where large volumes of water can be lost through sweat. The inclusion of electrolytes ensures water is retained in the body and not lost through urination. Phizz is rigorously vetted by medical departments and players and is chosen as their proffered hydration solution due to the efficacy of the formula.
Phizz has supplied over 50 pro sports teams across rugby, football and cricket including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Saracens. Notable fans include Olympic Champion Peter Reed OBE, TV personality Vicky Pattison and television presenter Andi Peters; Damian Roden, High-Performance Consultant and former Premier League Head of Performance says, “Phizz gives players a head start on the competition with the vitamins and electrolytes our players need to perform at their peak.”
Although a premium option, with quality at its core, Phizz offers value against a typical energy drink, at just 40p per serving. Your plastic usage is also cut down to one recyclable tube, compared with 20 one-time-use drinks containers.
Helping you to minimise your impact and maximise your health, Phizz has partnered with Plastic Bank, for each Phizz product purchased, 1.3x its weight in plastic waste is collected, recycled and prevented from entering our oceans; collectors are paid a premium, helping support impoverished communities. Phizz is proud to be leading the way as the only plastic- positive effervescent tablet in the category.
Using the power of science, Phizz make all-in-one health supplements that help you thrive every day; find Phizz at Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Amazon, or buy direct from www.phizz.co.

That's Food and Drink: Aldi is first supermarket member of the Podback re...: Aldi is to become the first supermarket member of the Podback recycling scheme, helping its customers to recycle their used coffee, tea and ...
Aldi is first supermarket member of the Podback recycling team
As part of its membership of the scheme, the supermarket will introduce its own-label pods into the Podback scheme in an industry first, whilst also helping to promote the free recycling service to shoppers throughout the country in over 980 stores.
From early 2023, Aldi customers can visit the Podback website to order recycling bags, which can be filled and taken to one of 6,500 Collect+ drop off points, or register for kerbside collections if they live in a participating local council area.
Podback launched last year and is the first coffee pod recycling service of its kind in the UK. It was launched by Nestle and Jacobs Douwe Egberts UK and membership has since grown to include 16 brands from across the coffee sector.
Pods recycled via Podback are reprocessed within the UK. Recycled aluminium pods are used in the manufacture of beverage cans and car components, and plastic coffee pods into items such as furniture, industrial packaging and building products. The used coffee grounds also go through anaerobic digestion to produce a combination of biogas and soil improver.
Aldi is one of the market leaders in own-label coffee pods, and also sells branded products as Specialbuys. By using the Podback service, customers could help to recycle up to 268 tonnes of plastic and 20 tonnes of aluminum Aldi own-label coffee pods each year.
Richard Gorman, Plastics and Packaging Director at Aldi, said: “We’re pleased to be joining Podback on this journey – especially as the first supermarket member.
“It’s important to us that we help customers do the right thing once our hot drink pods have been used, and we look forward to seeing how our partnership with Podback progresses.”
Rick Hindley, Executive Director at Podback, said: “We are delighted to welcome Aldi as the first supermarket brand member of Podback. This marks a key milestone for the programme and we are looking forward to working with Aldi to promote our service to their customers. We hope other retailers will follow Aldi’s lead and offer their own-brand pod customers the opportunity to recycle through Podback.”

Is your Sleep Sabotaging your Diet?
In the study, 195 adults with obesity were designated to an 8-week low-calorie diet followed by an entire year of observation and weight maintenance. They were then categorized by two metrics, whether or not they worked out and whether they received liraglutide or a placebo.
From there, the study followed all the participants’ weight fluctuations plus their sleep duration and quality. And what they discovered was a very strong link between sleep and weight fluctuation in adults who have obesity.
For one, participants who were measured as having bad sleep quality on average lost less weight during the 8-week diet than those who slept more soundly. And even on a subjective level, those who reported having a worse sleep also didn’t shed as many pounds as their counterparts.
And these results stayed consistent within the weight maintenance phase, too. During the 52-week maintenance phase, participants who on average slept under 6 hours a night saw no decrease in their body fat percentage, while those who slept more than 6 hours on average, did. In fact, each added hour of mean sleep corresponded to a weight loss of -1.7 kg or a body fat percentage decrease of 0.80%.
Sleep quality played an equally vital role during this stage, with those who were described as having good sleep quality on average losing 1.5kg more and having 0.1% body fat less. The difference was even more noticeable with people who had good sleep quality prior to the maintenance phase, with the difference against their counterparts being -3.5kg or -1.3% body fat.
But when looking at the difference between the exercise and no-exercise groups, the difference wasn’t as shocking as one would expect. Although weight loss persisted within the exercise group during the maintenance phase while the no-exercise group stagnated, the effect on sleep was surprisingly subtle.
Both measured sleep duration and sleep quality decreased in both groups at a very similar level. The only difference is that those who exercised had fewer daytime disturbances and better-perceived sleep quality.
And when it came to the difference between the liraglutide and placebo groups, the differences were also less significant than one might think. Weight loss was maintained within the liraglutide group while the placebo group stagnated. Sleep duration was prolonged in the liraglutide group for the first 26 weeks before tapering off by the end of the trial year. And sleep quality decreased within both groups equally.
All of this is to say that sleep duration and sleep quality are much more important factors in weight loss than most give them credit for. Even when compared with exercise and medication specifically designed to battle obesity in adults, differences in sleep routines showed a significant impact on a person’s weight during the weight maintenance period.
GUNNA Drinks sends 'cheeky' message to big rival over their pollution
Following the launch of their petition to ban the use of single-use plastic bottles in the manufacture of soft drinks, GUNNA Drinks created a piece of art for Coca Cola made from their discarded plastic cola bottles.
The GUNNA team hand delivered their unique ‘message made of bottles’ (in the form of a slightly naughty middle finger!) to Coca Cola’s flagship store which is in Covent Garden.
The Sculpture took a tour of London’s iconic locations, including Trafalgar Square, Westminster and Oxford Street accompanied by protesters dressed as marine wildlife to show the impact these bottles are having on animals and the habitats they call home.
Melvin Jay, Founder and CEO of GUNNA Drinks said: “It's really time for the Big Soda companies to take responsibility for picking up their own crap and stop polluting our planet! They could easily switch to cans or glass, but unfortunately these companies seem to love money more than they love our planet. This has to stop, so we are asking everyone to take a stand against plastic waste.”
In the UK 7.7 billion plastic bottles are used annually, with the average person in the UK now using 150 plastic bottles every year. That's over – that’s over three a week. Many are discarded, ending up polluting our rivers and seas. 83% of the plastic packaging waste we throw away in the UK comes from food and drink packaging.
GUNNA Drinks pledged to be carbon negative and eliminate twice the carbon they create, making them the UK's most carbon-negative craft soft drink. GUNNA also invests in the Clean Oceans project, which picks up plastic bottles from the ocean, so they pick up Big Cola’s mess for them. Off the back of being carbon negative the GUNNA team have pledged to go even further with lobbying the UK government to take action against plastic bottles.
The petition can be found here https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/624995?fbclid=IwAR2k48O4begzT9aaUQ-kM2-pScZnDEYUl3hJI7WaLmlAMPYWnFwoaXiER9E and GUNNA are asking for those who support the ban of plastic bottles to share this on social media using the hashtag #letscanplastic

Co-op and Just Eat team-up to launch nationwide UK partnership
Initially rolling-out to 50 stores early next year, the service is expected to grow to over 1,000 Co-op stores by Spring next year, 2023. Through the tie-up, shoppers will be able to order items from Co-op for speedy delivery in as little as under 30 minutes via the Just Eat app and website.
With thousands of products available to choose from, customers can order anything from bread and milk to meals and treats for evenings at home and, store cupboard essentials. Items are picked fresh from local Co-op stores, and delivered quickly and conveniently in the community.
Shoppers will also have access to household name brands, offers and promotions and, Co-op’s award-winning, ethically sourced quality own-brand products. Just Eat will then take care of the delivery, through its growing network of couriers across the UK.
Chris Conway, eCommerce Director, Co-op, said: “Co-op stores are well placed in the heart of local communities to provide quick, easy and convenient home deliveries – whether a full shop or last-minute top-ups. We are committed to exploring new and innovative ways to increase access to our products and services and, with our members and customers leading busy lives, ease, speed and convenience is a cornerstone of our approach.
“We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Just Eat, a move which will enable Co-op to ‘deliver’ further flexible options online with increased choice and availability in our communities, however, whenever and wherever our members and customers choose to shop with us.”

The partnership will bring our customers access to a wide range of fantastic Co-op products delivered to their home within minutes. This partnership is another example of Just Eat’s commitment to grocery in the UK and we know that Co-op will be a popular addition for our customers.”
Co-op utilises the strategic advantage of its store footprint located in the heart of communities which act as micro-distribution hubs - with products picked fresh in the local store and delivered quickly and conveniently in the community.
"Co-op has rolled out its 'quick convenience' offer at pace, through its own online shop - shop.coop.co.uk - and with partners.

Sandridge Barton's 'Dart Valley Reserve 2021' Recognised in West of England Wine Competition
However, it didn't have to travel far, because this year's awards were judged at the winery's very own new visitor centre and the team of judges said they were very impressed by the new winery, which is tucked into rolling hills between Torbay and the River Dart.
Winemakers from the famous Sharpham Estate completed their move across the Dart to the new state-of-the-art winery at Sandridge Barton last year and this is the first major award to be won by the team since the 40-year-old Sharpham Wine brand was relocated.
“It was a real pleasure to welcome the prestigious team of judges to our new winery and to be able to offer them hospitality at our amasing restaurant which is already earning wonderful plaudits for its food and service,” commented Duncan Schwab, CEO and Head Winemaker of Sandridge Barton.
More than 100 wines were judged on the day - both sparkling and still - and samples from all over the region included white, rosé, red, oaked, and non-oaked and both dry and medium wines.
“Without a doubt, it gave us a real buzz for us to win the much-sought-after Committee Cup for our Dart Valley Reserve 2021 - we feel very honoured that the judges named this the best dry white wine in this large South West region,” said Duncan. “Creating an award-winning wine is a real team effort - from growing and tending the vines, through to processing the grapes into wine.
“The team has done fantastically well to gain this accolade,” he added. “The really exciting thing for us is that it gives us the opportunity to invite the wider public to come and sample this wonderful wine at our new home just outside Stoke Gabriel.
“We're very proud of our new winery and visitor centre, with its fabulous restaurant run by the Circa team. It's well known that they moved here from a highly respected and much-loved venue in Exeter.
"For many of our visitors this year, it has been a culinary treat to see these talented chefs representing the Devon countryside by creating amazing dishes from local ingredients. One example of this is our highly popular Sunday roasts, which feature the delicious South Devon beef raised on the wider Sandridge Barton estate, close to the vineyards.”
Duncan concluded: “In fact, we are so proud of our new centre and all that it offers, we have created a 'Winter Wine Bar' at Sandridge Barton which is serving mulled wine and mince pies daily - and that, of course, is alongside our usual tours, tastings and walks that we offer.”
Panel Chair for the WineGB West Awards was Westcountry-based consultant sommelier Rebecca Mitchell, who commented: “Sandridge Barton was a wonderful setting for this year's competition and the team looked after us brilliantly and efficiently. We were treated to delicious, locally sourced food by Circa, their on-site restaurant. I speak on behalf of all the judges in saying how impressed we were by the overall very high standard of wine creativity on display for us to judge.
"We tasted over 100 wines in 8 different categories and the Dart Valley Reserve 2021 really stood out from the crowd in the Dry Unoaked White category. It had balance, poise and great depth of flavour with delicious crisp freshness. I shall certainly be returning to Sandridge Barton again soon to enjoy the wonderful setting nestled in the rolling South Hams near Stoke Gabriel. Their new state-of-the-art winery was the envy of many producers on Members Day and sets a very high benchmark indeed for the region's wine industry and I urge your readers to visit soon.”
Catch it while you can… The Sandridge Barton winery and visitor centre will be open until the end of December but will be closed during January - reopening towards the end of February 2023.
In 2023, visitors can expect the launch of the winery's new 'Vine to Wine' tours, which will cover the whole winemaking process from grape to bottle, as well as new wines to come from this year's bumper harvest.
Bookings for Sandridge Barton's three self-catering properties are open for 2023. The 12-person Sandridge Barton House is perfect for larger groups, the secluded four-person Boathouse is ideal for rural retreats, and the newly-renovated six-person Lower Well Farmhouse is available for those who want to be close to the action.

Cove Passion Liqueur for Your Valentine
Try Cove Passion Liqueur over ice with a twist of grapefruit, with cloudy lemonade or in the crowd-pleasing Pornstar Martini cocktail.
Presented in a stylish bottle with a wooden cork, so you can easily reseal the bottle after use, although it tastes so good you might not need to.
Cove Passion Liqueur is available in three sizes, 5cl (£5.95) 20cl (£18.00) and 50cl (£33.00), 25% ABV, from www.devoncove.co.uk with free nationwide shipping on orders over £30.00.
Commenting on this unique product, Devon Cove Founder, Leanne Carr says: “I was tired of the synthetic alternatives, so I had wanted to create a liqueur using fresh Passion Fruits for a long time and I am simply really thrilled with the result. Those who try it are too, enjoying it on its own over ice as a lighter alternative to a whisky digestive, as well as with mixers or as part of a cocktail.”
The expansion of their range of liqueurs is also offering Devon Cove the chance to increase their range of cocktails kits for customers to make at home. Leanne is somewhat of a master mixologist and has relished the opportunity to feature Cove Passion Liqueur in new cocktail kits such as the Cove Passion Fruit Martini Kit.
This is their take on the ever popular Pornstar Martini cocktail and combines their luxuriously smooth vodka with their Passion Liqueur, vanilla, pineapple and lime to create a tantalising treat. Stylishly presented with a box of delicious macarons, this kit would make the perfect Valentine's Day gift.
The Cove Passion Fruit Martini Kit (£42.90) offers four servings and includes one 20cl bottle of Cove Vodka, 20cl Cove Passion Liqueur, 20cl Monin Vanilla Syrup, 20cl Pineapple Juice, simple instructions and a box of 6 delicious macarons from Pretty Little Pastries. Available to buy here:
