Safety Watchdog Reassures Consumers

Food Standards Agency says there is no evidence that salad vegetables on sale in Britain are carrying E coli bacteria

The British food safety watchdog has reassured consumers there is no evidence that any salad vegetables on sale in the UK are carrying deadly E coli bacteria. The Food Standards Agency said the leading supermarkets had confirmed they were not selling organic cucumbers from suspected regions, although it advised all fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly washed before consumption.

Richard Dodd, of the British Retail Consortium, said most of the cucumbers in the UK come from Portugal and Holland. "We import them from Spain too, although a system called 'full traceability' means supermarkets know the exact origins of the fruit and vegetables they sell."

With the British cucumber growing season in full swing, there are fears that consumers may avoid even local produce. "The big danger is for UK cucumber producers," says Dodd. "If there's a storm of unnecessary panic, they are [the ones] who will suffer."

Derek Hargreaves, of the UK's Cucumber Growers' Association, said it was unlikely that cucumbers had caused the problem. "From a horticulturist's point of view, it's extremely difficult to get E coli into a cucumber," he said. "People don't spray slurry on to crops, even organic cucumbers. There are standards to follow and you're just not allowed to do that."

Liberian Baby J gets a good start in life

Liberia's NGO run Kingsville clinic offering pre and post natal care shows why healthcare matters and should be kept on the G8 countries' agenda

On the eve of the G8 summit, a baby boy was born in Kingsville clinic in west Liberia.

Kingsville is about an hour's drive from Liberia's capital, Monrovia, and I was told it was known as a township. During the civil war, more than 30,000 people descended on Kingsville to escape the fighting, and for years it was in many respects an internally displaced people's camp. Those who didn't leave when the fighting stopped have turned the area into a neighbourhood, and it is now home to more than 20,000 people.

The baby boy (we'll call him Baby J because his father excitedly told us his son would be named after Justin Forsyth, the chief executive of Save the Children UK, with whom I was visiting Kingsville) was born at about 1pm on Wednesday, weighing 2.8kg a good weight I'm told and there were no complications with the birth. His mother is 33 year old Serena Gay, who travelled the 9km to the red brick clinic on the back of a motorbike earlier that morning with her sister and her young son, Thomas. She was in labour for about eight hours.

After the birth, the midwife advised Serena to breastfeed her son for at least six months, and to return to the clinic in about six weeks to discuss family planning options Baby J is Serena's sixth child. In the meantime, she was to rest at the clinic for a few more hours before heading home.

It sounds like a cliche, but Serena really could be classed as one of the lucky ones. She had pre-natal check-ups at the clinic, which is a government centre run by Save the Children, she was able to get to the clinic to give birth, there were drugs in the dispensary and, crucially, the clinic had a trained midwife to help with the delivery and the healthcare was free all things certainly not guaranteed in Liberia, where only 37% of women give birth in a health facility (although the figure is likely to be less in rural areas) and less than 50% have trained help at delivery. Kingsville clinic has the proud boast that no woman has died giving birth there in the past five years.

Just over an hour after Baby J was born, Barack Obama gave his pre-G8 speech, which we listened to on the radio as we sat outside the clinic. We spoke about it being a small world, that here we were in rural Liberia listening to one of the world's most powerful men talk about his vision for the future.

Baby J has had a good start in life. But over the next two days, the decision that Obama and seven other world leaders, meeting in France, make could have a significant bearing on his life whether he makes it past his first or fifth birthday, whether he completes primary school or goes on to secondary, whether he gets a job and grows up to become a considerate husband and father, and above all whether he has opportunities and choices.

NGOs are worried that the fighting and calls for democracy in Libya and Syria and the other Arab spring states will push global health and education off the G8 agenda. Baby J is perhaps a poignant reminder of why they shouldn't.
