Signature of Candidate ______ ________________________________________________ Print name: Suruchi Pradhan ____________________________________________________________ 2 Abstract Iodine is an essential trace mineral. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can lead to adverse postnatal consequences such as impaired mental development, reduced intelligence scores and impaired motor skills in the offspring of the deficient women (Khazan et al., 2013, Rayman et al, 2008). There is growing evidence in the UK of low dietary iodine intakes and potential iodine deficiency in vulnerable populations (pregnant women and women of child bearing age group) (Rayman and Bath, 2015, Vanderpump et al., 2011) and a paucity of information on the iodine content of food products. In developing countries where iodine deficiency is widespread, salt has successfully been used as a vehicle for iodine fortification, however iodised salt is not widely available in UK supermarkets and there are valid health concerns about promoting salt intake. -

The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster
The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster Few experiences satisfy the person who savors food and drink more than a journey to the source, the place where a favorite wine, cheese, or fruit is produced. The encounter imparts a knowledge of terrain and an appreciation of techniques used to make the prized food or drink. No book can teach this experience; no number of trips to the local delicatessen or bottle shop can equal it. For the appreciator of cheese, Dutch cheese is one of the gustatory glories of the Netherlands. The place to start is a good cheese store in Amsterdam. Beyond Amsterdam, you can visit the cheese markets at Alkmaar and at Gouda. You can also visit a cheese-making farm, Clara Maria, near Amsterdam. Details can be easily arranged by the Netherlands Board of Tourism office, www.holland.com. Cheese Shops in Amsterdam Cheese shops in Amsterdam, such as Abraham Kef’s, 192 Marninxstraat, are the places to make your first encounter with Dutch cheeses. At Kef’s you can make a tasting ceremony of cheese and wine. First, try a slice of Gouda, which is 60 percent of all the cheese produced in the Netherlands. Half of this Gouda is exported, making the Dutch one of the world’s largest exporters of cheese. Ask for a piece of Young Gouda, about three months old, which is imported to the U.S. labeled Young or Mild Gouda. Most Goudas are whole milk cheeses with a fat content of 48 percent. The Young Gouda has a creamy, buttery taste. -
DAIRY at the HIGHEST LEVEL on the Economic Importance and Quality of the Dutch Dairy Sector Summary
DAIRY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL On the economic importance and quality of the Dutch dairy sector Summary Quality and cooperation The Dutch dairy sector largely owes its strong global market position to high, consistent quality and a capacity for innovation. From our world-famous Gouda and Edam cheeses to milk powder and high-quality ingredients: dairy from the Netherlands is synonymous with the highest quality. This quality is the result of Dutch dairy farmers’ and producers’ years of experience and craftsmanship, as well as close cooperation with knowledge institutes and the government. Take a look behind the scenes of a high-quality food industry with a unique quality system. 2 Dairy at the highest level Dairy at the highest level 3 Foreword/Contents Dutch dairy at the highest level We never really talk about quality.

Cheese in the European Union
Cheese in the European Union The EU produced 10.5 m t (million tonnes) of cheese in 2019 EU cheese production 2009-2019 m t 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Source: Eurostat Types of cheese produced in EU Fresh Soft Semi soft Hard Blue Within these broad categories there is a lot of variation in colour, texture, consistency and taste. How long the cheese is aged for, and under what conditions, is key to the final outcome. For example, some cheeses are wrapped in cloth and left to mature in caves, others are repeatedly washed with brine or alcohol (washed-rind or smear-ripened), while others are sealed in wax. Various bacteria can be introduced during production to give the cheese a soft, bloomy rind (like Camembert), or air holes known as ‘eyes’ (as with Danish Harvati), or green-blue veins (such as French Roquefort or Italian Gorgonzola). These latter two cheeses have been granted a Protected Designation of Origin (or PDO) under an EU quality scheme for food and wine, aimed at protecting traditional production processes and unique regional products. There is also a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), which emphasises the unique geographical origin of a cheese or other foodstuff. The type of milk used also influences the final flavour of cheese 2% 2% 4% Cow’s milk: 9,658 m t (92% of total cheese production) Sheep milk: 231 m t (2% of total cheese production) Goat milk: 203 m t (2% of total cheese production) Other (buffalo and mixed milks): 444 m t 92% (4% of total cheese production) Source: Eurostat • Cow’s milk is mild, sweet and creamy – 92% of the EU’s cheese is made from pure cow’s milk • Sheep milk is more tangy and grassy – just over 2% of EU cheese is made from pure sheep milk • Goat milk has the most ‘farmyard’ aroma and taste – just under 2% of EU cheese is made from pure goat milk • 4% Cheeses made from ‘other’ milks make up the remaining 4% of EU cheeses, such as buffalo or even reindeer milk, or a mixture of milks. -

EU Quality Schemes: Market Potential for Fresh and Processed Products
International comparison of product supply chains in the agri-food sector: determinants of their competitiveness and performance on EU and international markets WORKING PAPER N 8, September 2014 EU Quality Schemes: market potential for fresh and processed products Edited by Cornelia-Florentina Alboiu, Dan-Marius Voicilas Abstract The working paper provides an analysis of “new markets” in selected EU countries. The recent situation, development as well as challenges and tendencies on the markets for products produced and processed according to the EU quality schemes (organic products, protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), and traditional specialties guaranteed (TSG)) will be discussed in the paper in order to identify the market potential for those products. In particular, several case studies of specific EU markets are included. There are wide variations across the EU as to the size of the current market and likely future potential for organic food as well as PDI and PGO products. Of the countries considered, geographical indications are most developed in Italy, but remain of peripheral importance in some established (e.g. UK) and new member states (e.g. Romania). In some countries, were the local market is restricted by low purchasing power, development of the organic sector relies solely on export sales (e.g. Serbia). In established member states the situation of the organic sector has been rather mixed. In Germany sales continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate than in the mid-2000s, while the UK experienced a sharp downturn after 2008. The results of our analysis show that the market was heavily influenced by EU policy (especially by financial support) and the global crisis. -

With the dairy school came the need of pedagogic state- ments of the subjects taught therein. It fell to the lot of the author of this book to make such a statement of cheese making. His first attempt was printed in 1893 under the title of "Cheddar Cheese Making." This first attempt met with an encouraging reception and was translated into the French language by Eniile Castel for the use of the Canadians in the Province of Quebec. A second and revised edition under the same name was printed in 1895.
