WORLD UNITED KINGDOM Britain Panics Over Brexit-Sparked Marmite Shortage Tesco pulled a range of products from its website following a pricing row with Unilever News that a major British supermarket will no longer be stocking Marmite following Brexit has sparked outrage across the U.K., leading the hashtag #MarmiteGate to trend on Twitter. Tesco pulled a range of products, including Marmite, PG Tips tea bags, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Persil washing powder and Lynx body spray, from its website after a row over pricing with the major food and household goods supplier Unilever. According to The Guardian, Unilever is trying to charge Tesco an extra 10% for its goods due to the pound’s fall against the euro and the dollar following the vote for Brexit in June. Graeme Pitkethly, Unilever’s chief financial officer, described these price increases as a “normal” part of business. “We are taking price increases in the UK. That is a normal devaluation-led cycle,” he told analysts.

Tubs of Marmite have even gone on sale on eBay for up to £4million ($4.78 million)—although no bids have been placed so far. One of the Marmite jars for sale is described as “Rare 2016 genuine retail Marmite jar (unopened).” The product description reads: “One of the last remaining examples of this fabled product in private hands. Unsealed, it is in the same condition it was when it was plucked from the supermarket shelf. Little did I know it would be the last Marmite I ever bought – and now, you, too, can buy your last ever Marmite.” /dev/null Follow @smbthomas Don't know why everyone is complaining, it was on the battlebus#Marmite #Marmitegate #Brexit 10:29 PM - 12 Oct 2016 99 118 Phill JD Follow @Digital_PhillJD Clearly the #Marmite struggle is real for someone riding my train this morning! #Brexit #Marmitegate 5:33 AM - 13 Oct 2016 1,085 1,493 Zorro P Freely Follow @banalyst "What did Marmite taste like father?" 7:23 PM - 12 Oct 2016 1,494 1,784 ©2015 Time Inc.

Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision
1 Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision The Office of Health Care Quality is pleased to release the latest revision of the Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents. This manual is a premier publication—serving as a resource for providers, health care facilities, caregivers and families across the nation. In long-term care facilities, meeting nutritional requirements is not as easy as it sounds. It is important to provide a wide variety of food choices that satisfy each resident’s physical, ethnic, cultural, and social needs and preferences. These considerations could last for months or even years. Effective nutritional planning, as well as service of attractive, tasty, well-prepared food can greatly enhance the quality of life for long-term care residents. The Diet Manual for Long Term Care Residents was conceived and developed to provide guidance and assistance to nursing home personnel. It has also been used successfully in community health programs, chronic rehabilitation, and assisted living programs. It serves as a guide in prescribing diets, an aid in planning regular and therapeutic diet menus, and as a reference for developing recipes and preparing diets. The publication is not intended to be a nutrition-care manual or a substitute for individualized judgment of a qualified professional. Also included, is an appendix that contains valuable information to assess residents’ nutritional status. On behalf of the entire OHCQ agency, I would like to thank the nutrition experts who volunteered countless hours to produce this valuable tool. We also appreciate Beth Bremner and Cheryl Cook for typing the manual.

1. Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to Unilever Sri Lanka Unilever's association with the country, Ceylon at the time, began in the early 1900s with brands such as Sunlight, Lux and Pears Rose being available for sale in the local market. In 1927 imports and distribution was organised with the appointment of a sole agent Sankar Aiyars. In 1938, with the sales of Sunlight reaching 2000 tons and Lux reaching 200 tons Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited was incorporated. This was followed with the establishment of a soap factory in Grandpass Colombo in April 1940. Bakery fats and Margarine manufacture commenced in 1941 and in 1958 the company established its own selling and distribution organisation (Sankalana, 2009). Over the years the organisation expanded and the business activities of Unilever were managed through Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited, Lipton, Brooke Bond, Ceytea, Lever Aqua Products and Premier Foods. The organisation was restructured in 1991 to bring all legal entities under the umbrella of Unilever Ceylon. Since then the business was managed by two divisions namely Consumer Division and Tea Division. Since 1996, the consolidated business entity is known as Unilever Sri Lanka Limited (USL) with its head office and main food and home and personal care (HPC) factory in Grandpass, Colombo. This plant manufactures a large range of fast moving consumer goods such as toilet soaps, hard soaps, washing powders, shampoos, toothpaste and margarine. This site employs around 1270 permanent employees. Non soap detergent (NSD) plant, hard soap packing plant and the distribution centre are located at the Lindel industrial site in Sapugaskanda, about 15 km away from the Grandpass office.

Salicylate Food and Product Shopping Lists Last Updated: January 31 2021
p. 1 Salicylate Food and Product Shopping Lists Last Updated: January 31 2021 Formatted for shopping convenience from The Low-Sal Life Go to the website at https://low-sal-life.com/food-product-lists#products for more data on each item, the year and sources for that data, and their complete and awesome list of citations, studies and research: “There have been five major studies testing salicylates in food over the last forty years. I will categorize food by the highest study's levels which includes Free + Bound Salicylic Acid levels, but also include all the historical results. Please take caution while trying new foods. Also note, that the food industry has changed and scientific methods improved in 40 years which may be a few reasons why salicylate levels have changed. Malakar et al. reports all levels with free plus bound salicylic acid, not just free like Swain et al. 1985. This may explain why levels are higher than before. Kęszycka also reports both free and bound, but provides the levels separately. This is why white rice is no longer in the negligible list - it has a low level when including bound salicylic acid. While it's not known how the body metabolizes bound salicylates, it's good to know what the full potential is. The best way to use this list is to search for the food item with your browser search - look for ALL the mentions. For example, figs are listed in three categories depending on how they are preserved. Also, some foods were not included in the five research articles, so I've included items like the St.
