Hello everyone
Thank you to all who have signed

manufacturers have contacted us looking for acceptable alternatives, see more
about the ongoing battle below. Also in the latest newsletter: more
extraordinary reader stories, interesting new products, what you need to know
about nitrate-free hams and tempting recipes for Christmas treats. Many thanks
to everyone who has helped to spread the word this year by contributing to the
newsletter, joining groups, attending talks, contacting manufacturers or buying
additive-free food. Howard and I wish you all a very happy and failsafe holiday
season
