Abstract
The Food Standards Agency has announced that its 2010 Food Champion Awards are now open to all local authorities in England and Wales.
The awards aim to recognise and celebrate authorities that have shown innovation and real leadership in their work to improve food safety and standards locally, or to improve the diet and nutrition of people in their communities. Local authority initiatives completed since the closing date for Food Champions 2008 (the closing date was 17 December 2007) and submitted as case studies to the Food Vision website by 31 March 2010 will be eligible for the awards. Any local authority that already has an eligible initiative on the Food Vision website will have the opportunity to confirm whether it wants its case study to be considered for the Food Champion Awards. More information about the awards, how the new streamlined application process works, and what being a Food Champion Awards winner will mean for a local authority, can be found in the application brochure and summary leaflet by clicking here.
