UK: TESCO WINS LEGAL CASE

Article Abstract:

Tesco has won a case at Nottingham County Court in January 2000 which could lead to UK supermarkets being better placed to obtain compensation from people who steal from their stores. Tesco obtained GB[pound] 344 from shoplifter, Harinder Singh Kular, who pleaded guilty to steeling GB[pound] 110.95 worth of goods from the UK-based supermarket chain's Dudley branch. Tesco succeeded in winning the first case of civil recovery in a county court after the guilty part was reported to the National Civil Recovery Programme, which is now embraced by 29 retailers. The programme allows losses and costs incurred by the retailer to be recovered.

UK: ASA CRITICISES SAINSBURY'S OVER GM CLAIMS

Article Abstract:

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has criticised Sainsbury for claiming to be the first major supermarket to remove genetically modified (GM) ingredients from all of its own-label food products in August 1999. Both Iceland and Waitrose, rival supermarket chains, objected to the ASA over the claims made by Sainsbury, and both state that they achieved the same goal at an earlier date. Iceland removed all GM ingredients from its products some 15-months ago meaning that Sainsbury was not the first supermarket to remove GM ingredients.
