Shrewsbury Food Hub urges people to use its surplus veg
A charity that collects surplus food from shops and farms and shares it out, has urged people to help themselves to vegetables after being inundated with them.
Ali Thomas, from Shrewsbury Food Hub, revealed the group gathered about four tonnes, or 400 trays of food, on Christmas Eve alone from supermarkets and wholesalers.
“We have been completely inundated with vegetables,” she said.
The charity distributes to places such as domestic abuse safe houses, foodbanks and hospices, but everyone is invited to collect produce for themselves or their friends and neighbours with collection points open on Friday.

USITC Votes To Continue Investigations for Chromium Trioxide from India and Turkey Chromium Trioxide from India and Turkey

Contact: Jennifer Andberg
, 202-205-1819USITC Votes To Continue Investigations for Chromium Trioxide from India and Turkey Chromium Trioxide from India and Turkey
The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured due to imports of chromium trioxide from India and Turkey that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of India.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of chromium trioxide from India and Turkey.
