An opportunity for local food producers to unravel the mysteries of bar coding will be provided by Tastes of Anglia at a workshop next month.

Julie West, deputy chief executive of Tastes of Anglia said: ëSome of our members have been providing bar codes on their products for many years, particularly if they are dealing with supermarkets and high profile London stores. There is perhaps a psychological barrier to bar codes but the system is nothing like as difficult to adopt as some people might imagine.”

The workshop will take place on September 16 at the NFU regional office at Newmarket. For further information contact Jane Whyman at Tastes of Anglia on 01473 785 883
