The food in your fridge might look and smell fine, but if it's a day out of date (or even on the use-by day) do you throw it straight in the bin? If so, you're not alone. Indeed, the syndrome even has a name: Best Before Paranoia. It is this growing obsession with perceived food freshness that is said to be behind Government plans to scrap best-before dates entirely.

We all know to steer clear of undercooked chicken, but who actually bothers to give salad a wash before tucking in? Well, we could be risking E.coli, according to a warning from the Food Standards Agency. Researchers found the bug in soil traces on lettuce, while Spanish cucumbers and German bean sprouts hit the headlines last year as possible sources of a deadly outbreak.

YOU quickly run out of superlatives when talking about whales. They are the largest, loudest and longest-lived animals on our planet. How amazing, then, that we should still know so little about them -- and that our ignorance has led these beautiful creatures into clear and present danger. As a writer, I've studied whales around the world -- from majestic blue whales off Sri Lanka to the playful humpbacks of Cape Cod. But it is the enigmatic sperm whale which fascinates me. It has the biggest brain of any animal -- a massive 18lb to our human 3lb - - yet we really have no idea what it does with it.

EVERY year thousands of people across the UK are diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be caused by unsafe central heating systems, gas cookers or gas fires. Gas Safety Week, which takes place from September 10 to 16, aims to raise awareness of gas safety and the importance of taking care of gas appliances such as boilers, cookers and fires which we rely on to keep warm, provide us with hot baths and showers and cook hot meals on. It's important that gas appliances are regularly serviced to help keep us safe and prevent them from breaking down when we need them most.
... Carbon monoxide symptoms are similar to flu, food poisoning, viral infections and tiredness. It's co...

Food poisoning cases at Birmingham restaurants and take aways have rocketed during the recession with cases of food fraud and cut backs in cleaning also on the increase. Environmental health officers at Birmingham City Council said the number of cases of suspected food poisoning had risen by more than 25 per cent in the last year and found businesses have been left so strapped for cash they have resorted to buying products such as meat and alcohol from illegal traders.
... and the level of food safety management systems More than 7,000 food outlets in Birmingham have th...
It is there on every packet of salad: 'wash before eating'. But how many of us will simply rip open the wrapping and empty the contents into a salad bowl, or tear it into a sandwich without a second thought? Doing so could yield unpleasant results, says the Food Standards Agency (FSA), the Government's advisory body. Last year, Spanish cucumbers and German beansprouts made headlines worldwide as being possible sources of a deadly outbreak. A variety of the bacterium E.coli that was pathogenic (capable of causing infection) had killed six people and left almost 300 very ill in Germany.

THE use of antibacterial cleaners in the home could be making people more vulnerable to the potentially deadly E.coli O157 food poisoning bug, a health expert has claimed. Dr Prysor Williams from Bangor University, a lecturer in environmental management and an expert on human pathogens, believes people's obsession with cleanliness reduces contact with the bacteria, thereby weakening our immune systems and leaving us less able to resist infection.
