The Grocer has published seven pages of news and features discussing the recent Sudan 1 crisis and what the biggest food scare since BSE will mean for businesses and brands.

In its Sudan 1 Special Report news pages, The Grocer investigates what happened to share prices at Premier Foods, the company at the centre of the biggest food recall scandal in history, over the past week.

The Grocer’s reporters also looked into online shopping to see if contaminated products were available on supermarket’s websites last week, and reporters also went out into the field to get the consumer perspective on the situation.

The Grocer finds out what the situation is for Lea & Perrins, after reports showed that consumers were under the mistaken impression it was affected.

And the report also includes detailed investigations into the food chain and how the contaminated products were able to find their way onto grocery store shelves.

How swiftly did retailers react to the red alert, and what is the cost to suppliers likely to be? How can the industry stop it happening again? Read all this and more in this week’s issue of The Grocer, dated 26 February.
