the companies Foodwatch France lists seven offences including placing on the market products harmful to health and failure to implement procedures to withdraw or recall such a product endangering the lives of others and export to a non-EU country of food potentially harmful to health The two complaints include the case of Louna who was hospitalized because of a Salmonella infection after eating Kinder chocolate The multi-country outbreak has sickened hundreds coli outbreak involves 56 cases and two deaths from Buitoni brand Fraîch’Up pizzas in France Production at the factory in Caudry was stopped in April The Paris prosecutor’s office has opened a criminal inquiry into the incident The Ferrero monophasic Salmonella typhimurium chocolate outbreak has affected at least 324 people in 16 countries Belgian authorities halted production at the Arlon facility in April and an investigation has been launched by the Luxembourg Public Prosecutor’s Office The two Foodwatch complaints against Nestlé and Ferrero were filed in Paris this week by the law firm Teissonniere Topaloff Lafforgue Andreu et Associés (TTLA) on behalf of the group and several victims They are seeking sanctions against the companies and compensation for the victims Foodwatch said the incidents were preventable or their impact could have at least been reduced “These cases show that we cannot trust Nestlé and Ferrero and that the self-checking system entrusted to manufacturers is not sufficiently effective it was the health authorities who had to sound the alarm in the face of a worrying outbreak While the alert should have come from the manufacturers responsible for ensuring the safety of the food they market let contaminated products leave their factories for weeks without noticing?” The consumer group said it has been concerned for years about the system being reactive instead of preventive problems posed by inefficient self-controls a lack of public resources and weak sanctions Foodwatch has also published an open letter that people can sign to show their support for the complaint and to those sickened “There is always an aura of secrecy around haute couture,” said Sonia Lemagnen, the company’s spokeswoman. “We knew that Alexander McQueen was one of the houses being considered. We work with Alexander McQueen, so we hoped maybe he would be chosen, and maybe it would have some lace. We were quite surprised to see our lace on TV. Everyone is really, really proud.” Employees will continue working at the Buitoni factory in some capacity Nestlé told unions in a meeting yesterday afternoon (2 March) Nestlé has temporarily suspended production at a frozen-pizza factory in France at the centre of a fatal E coli outbreak last year due to falling sales has led to a drop in sales of frozen pizzas which made the factory untenable All of the factory’s employees will keep their jobs for the time being despite a complete suspension of production the company told unions in a meeting yesterday afternoon (2 March) which produces frozen pizzas for its Buitoni brand They said: “Despite all the efforts made to ensure that the factory restarted in the best conditions in December 2022 the deterioration in the outlook for orders for its pizzas has forced Nestlé France to react no decision has been made for the future of the Caudry plant.” Nestlé said the frozen-pizza market has fallen by 20% in the past year with Buitoni hit particularly hard following the “Buitoni crisis of 2022” a member of the French union Force Ouvrière estimated the factory’s orders were at 450 compared to the 3,500 initially planned for 2023 He told French news agency AFP his colleagues were “devastated” adding: “We did not expect the distributors to slam the door on us.” In December Nestlé received the go-ahead to reopen one of the plant’s two lines the owner of a flat valued at €7.5 million donated it to his home town after his death A great surprise for the municipality of Caudry The small town in the Nord region of France is the lucky beneficiary of a bequest estimated at… 7.5 million euros The stylist Louis Sandras decided to bequeath his Monegasque flat to his home town after his death Louis Sandras may have moved to Paris and then to Monaco the designer had already donated a new pitch to the municipality of Caudry where he was the football club’s former director he left his Monegasque flat to his beloved town Le bien immobilier était géré depuis sa mort en 1985 par son épouse, la couturière Héléna Beauvilain.

one committed to the best of the 21st century the other relying on 19th century looms and hand labor.Looking toward the future the Italian company Marioboselli Jersey S.p.A is using the latest computerized equipment to knit and produce apparel selling under the labels of leading names in the fashion industry Complex combinations of yarns and patterns can be knitted into a single garment.A holdover from a prior era is French lace producer Solstiss which maintains nineteenth-century looms and employs highly skilled workers to create laces sold in 70 countries Eighty-five percent of the cost of the companys fabrics is in labor.Both companies are medium-sized Solstiss is a combine of four separate lace producers  Forerunner Of The CenturyMarioboselli Jersey was founded by Mario Boselli in 1973 as an adjunct to the yarn company Torcitura Carlo Boselli The family history in the silk business dates back to 1573 Today the Boselli family owns three companies: Marioboselli Holding; Marioboselli Yarns; and Marioboselli Jersey Mario Boselli is president of the holding company His other involvements in Italian textiles and fashion are so vast he is considered to be the dean of Italian fashions Mario Boselli is president of Camera Nazionale della Moda (the organization that handles everything concerning Italian fashion) He is on the Board of Directors of two major Italian banks is a member of the Board of Directors of the Italian textile company Ratti and serves on the Board of DMC of France.Annual sales from all Marioboselli divisions amount to about $60 million Marioboselli Yarns is headed by Carlo Boselli a son of Mario Boselli and grandson of the founder There are four mills in Italy and one in Slovakia air-jet textured continuous yarns and a lot of stretch yarns Yarns for technical end-uses include Kevlar® and carbon fibers the Albate Division dyes knitted and woven fabrics The Area Division produces knitted garments The Linea X Division was launched in September 2001 to produce seamless garments.Marioboselli Jersey is a major knitter of crepe and matte jersey Novelty and innovative knitted fabrics are developed each season for high fashion with half of the companys total production exported to other European countries December 2001).Federico Boselli describes the concept behind the new Linea X Division as the ready garment concept thus saving all of the production costs and reducing delivery time.Garments are produced on new Santoni machines Marioboselli is the first to have this equipment the new Santoni machines can do more than previous ones They are able to create complex fabrics and garments that have no lateral seams or final hems All is computerized.The software is the same as with other Santoni machinery The difference is in the way the yarn goes into the machine and how it is used and other natural and man-made fibers and blends Elitand Bemberg® cupro yarns.The Santoni equipment is able to turn out garments using a combination of yarns and patterns skirts and tops.Marioboselli has one single and one double Santoni machine each with three cylinders of differing sizes The machines are producing apparel designed by Hugo Boss and other leading fashion names Mariobosellis own fashion apparel division. French Lace The Old Way has been the production center of fine machine-made lace labor-intensive product that could be afforded only by the very rich It was so valuable it became a form of currency and was included in noble families lists of valuables when John Leavers invented a machine in England that could produce lace not only did the cost of lace fabrics drop tenfold but the demand for his machine well exceeded the supply Because export of this equipment to France was illegal the silk center of France; some found its way to Caudry then a textile center for linen and cotton Leavers machines were set up individually in homes and barns there were 147 machines in Caudry; by 1914 the lace industry in France was a cottage industry with weavers bringing their cloth to market to be sold and Leavers machines were no longer produced.Today lace is back in fashion The French lace industry is centered in Caudry; narrow lace is produced in Calais; none is made in Lyon There are only a handful of mills still in operation that have Leavers machines was formed in 1974 by four separate lace weavers in Caudry Each company has its own production facilities; they share administrative offices in Caudry and sales offices and agents in major cities around the world Total annual sales volume is around $20 million Ninety percent of its sales are outside of France Twenty-five percent comes into the United States.The Solstiss combine has more than 80 Leavers machines Ninety-eight percent of production goes into apparel and a small portion is sold for home products With the unavailability of new Leavers machines the Solstiss group is purchasing derelict lace factories enabling it to have replacement parts for its old equipment.Lace weaving is done the same way it was 150 years ago Each machine produces about 20 yards of fabric per hour Standard width is 36 inches.Because the machines are old they are treated with graphite to keep them in working order All Solstiss lace is sent to Calais to be washed It comes back to Caudry to be very carefully examined Threads of dyed lace are carefully taken from the selvage of each piece for repairs.A lot of Solstiss lace is embellished and most of the bead work is hand-sewn in India More than 60 new beaded patterns have been designed for Fall 2002 Each can take as long as one month to create.Each member of the Solstiss group has a specialty All are third- and fourth-generation mill owners He has 10 Saurer embroidery machines.The finest lace produces less intricate designs using 30 Leavers machines four Tashima computer-guided embroidery machines and six Cornelli machines that are hand-guided to stitch ribbons and sequins onto lace.According to Frans Damide the price of a piece of lace goes from $20 to $800 in the United States Sample orders of new designs are completed in from six to eight weeks Solstiss maintains offices in New York City and in Los Angeles the amazing roots and folk music festival is coming to Creswick for the fourth time fro Friday 4 April – Sunday 6 April CresFest is about the joy of live music – playing it It all happens in one small Victorian town: Creswick just 15 minutes from Ballarat and 20 minutes from Daylesford There will be three days of dance and music in the beautiful heritage town of Creswick there will be opportunities to participate through a packed program of workshops including singing learning new skills and taking part in the majestic African Extravaganza which takes over the centre of town with Kofi Kunkpe’s ensemble and the Creswick Drummers There’s something for everyone: budding performers can enter the IGA Busking Competition;
