Rotisserie chickens in the trash: I worked in a supermarket and saw shocking food waste every day | Ann Larson (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Stores over-stock their shelves, then toss out what they don't sell. Meanwhile, workers struggle to make ends meetTo most grocery shoppers, rotisserie chickens look like a mouth-watering and easy option for dinner. But whenever I pass by the rotisserie case in a supermarket, I see chicken carcasses piled up in the trash, their once glistening juices congealing into a slimy jelly.
It all started when I was working as a cashier in a chain supermarket. One day, I was chatting with a colleague about the behind-the-scenes secrets that shoppers didn't see. The deli employee said, “Last night we tossed out about sixteen birds.” He explained that managers wanted the rotisserie chicken case to be full at all times because a full case looked appetizing, while a half empty one looked sad. Keeping the case full was an all-day affair. Workers arrived before dawn to season and roast dozens of birds. (One employee burned his arm while maneuvering chickens into the oven. He quit soon after.)The seasoning and roas...

UK food and drink exports fall as US tariffs and Brexit trade friction bites – business live (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsThe FDF also report that the UK's food and drink export surplus with the US has fallen by over 69% – from £359m to £110m in Q1 2026.This was driven by the 27.9% drop in UK exports to the US, and also by a 11.5% rise in US food and drink exports into Britain.The US are also set to benefit from proposed tariff suspensions announced by the UK government this year, which would make it cheaper for US businesses to export products like chocolate, biscuits, jams and spreads to the UK, while UK manufacturers face higher costs sending products to the US, meaning this trend is likely to persist.“Food and drink businesses are part of the fabric of every community in the UK, and it's concerning to see them struggling to compete overseas. The UK produces world-class food and drink, drawing on our heritage and our reputation for innovation, but we have to be able to remain competitive overseas against local products. The costs of producing food and drink...

NIM: Konsumklima weiterhin schwach - aber stabil (Dow Jones)
|
|
|
Der Abwärtstrend bei der Kauflaune der deutschen Verbraucher ist vorerst gestoppt. Der vom Nürnberg Institut für Marktentscheidungen (NIM) ermittelte Indikator zum Konsumklima prognostiziert für Juli einen Anstieg im Vergleich zum Vormonat um 0,5 Zähler auf minus 29,2 Punkte. Von Dow Jones Newswires befragte Ökonomen hatten einen Anstieg auf minus 27,8 Punkte erwartet.. --- "Die Verbraucherstimmung stabilisiert sich derzeit auf niedrigem Niveau", erklärte Rolf Bürkl, Head of Consumer Climate beim NIM. "Die Einkommensaussichten erholen sich nur wenig. Die Anschaffungsneigung verharrt im pessimistischen Bereich und auch die Sparneigung geht nicht zurück. Ein Aufwind in Richtung Vorkriegsniveau zeichnet sich daher noch nicht ab, auch wenn die Friedensverhandlungen und der Rückgang der Rohölpreise die Inflationssorgen der Verbraucher mildern und die Konjunkturerwartungen wieder etwas aufhellen."
