BBC Changing Rooms Judges PICTURE THIS

LOCAL photographers and home owners are being urged to get snapping and support a competition to raise funds for homeless charity Emmaus, which runs a group for the homeless on Merseyside.

The charity has teamed up with specialist removal company Bishop's Move to launch the event, which focuses on the importance of having somewhere to call home.

Judges include BBC Changing Rooms designer Graham Wynne and there are some great prizes on offer. All entrants have to do is send in a photo which captures a favourite part of their home and say why it is so special to them.

For more details, visit www.myhomephotos.co.uk. The closing date is July 31.

AGENCY ISSUES ADVICE ABOUT FRUIT PIES

THE Food Standards Agency today advised consumers that some pies in batches of three brands of fruit pies have been found to contain mould. The Agency understands that this is because a preservative was left out during the production process which has resulted in the mould growing.

The three affected brands, all made by Manor Bakeries, are:- Mr Kipling Six Fruit Selection Dessert Pies, ASDA Six Assorted Fruit Pies and Tesco Summer Fruit Pies, all of which have UK wide distribution.

Whilst the products are believed to have been removed from the shelves, people could still have them at home as the best before dates are up to June 11th. The amount of mould in any affected pies is likely to increase the longer they are kept. There are nearly a million pies in total in the three batches.

Whilst eating the mouldy pies is unlikely to be a signficiant health risk, it could be unpleasant and there have been at least 28 consumer complaints received by local authorities so far.

Anyone who has a product from the affected batch should return it to their retailer and request a refund.

The full details of the affected products are:-
