Did you know there is no legal definition for vegan food?

CTSI is calling for a new legal definition to be created so the rules are clear. Watch the video below to see what people had to say 👇 #Vegan #FoodLabelling #TradingStandards

Fantastic role here at an incredible charity focussed on tackling the nation’s unacceptable health inequalities! Covering a broad range of issues from housing to employment, and how these impact our health and well-being - this is a rare and exciting opportunity.

Powerful comment from @PollyToynbee highlighting the hidden but vital work of Trading Standards profession. Do we really want 🇬🇧 to become a dustbin for imports of counterfeits and substandard goods? We need effective regulation and enforcement 🗑️ @CTSI_UK https://t.co/XxVtdv5VFl

CTSI strongly condemns a decision by @EnfieldCouncil to decimate its Trading Standards team, which risks the borough becoming the first in the UK with no functioning Trading Standards service https://t.co/UjmEBwwcge #TradingStandards #Cuts

Illegal products on the market are ultimately detrimental for legitimate business.
