BFFF REPRESENTS ITS MEMBERSHIP AT GLOBAL COALITION MEETING IN PARIS

Rupert Ashby, the BFFF’s CEO has been representing member views at a meeting of a global coalition in Paris this week. The BFFF joined the Move to -15°C Coalition earlier this year to ensure that members voices, evidence, experience and concerns are heard by participants across the world as the exciting prospect of a review of frozen food storage temperatures takes centre stage in sustainability talks and plans.

 

As ever though, depending on your product, and due to varying legislation across the world, these things are not always that simple.

 

Rupert Ashby has written an article covering all aspects of the issue and the BFFFs stance which can be read here https://flickread.com/edition/html/671123767c63d#33

 

Following recent meetings with 11 retailers, many producers and manufacturing BFFF members, he attended the meeting in Paris to put forward your views, and heard presentations about approaches in other Countries, data on frozen food transport in shipping containers, a report on the Morrisons freezer temperature trial and updates on work with Codex, funding for research and evidence that is needed. There is a long way to go, but even if any move is possible, or research just identifies key efficiencies, it could be a very exciting result for our great industry.

 

The meeting was attending by a number of companies including BFFF members DP World, Morrisons, Lineage, Nomad Foods, Sunswap Ltd and Constellation Cold Logistics.

Details of the Coalition can be found at The Move To Minus 15°C | Cold Chain Sustainability
