Welcome
The sauces that bring meat to life go under the microscope in this issue, with a celebration of a cavalcade of flavours and global influences. While a traditional favourite, bacon, continues to be a dynamic offering on menus.
As usual, we present exceptional guidance and advice around the complex web of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPS) – something we’ve been focusing on as a trade publication for a number of years now.
And finally… we are gearing up for one of the biggest nights on the industry calendar – the Sammies Awards on 7 May. Check out our eight-page special and I look forward to some long overdue catch-ups.
