We are currently living through uncertain times but one constant is the necessity of food production and ensuring a safe, reliable and healthy food supply. For this reason, the food industry has always been hugely important in society. It will play a pivotal role in Ireland’s economic recovery once the country begins to return to normality, providing significant career opportunities to those who opt to study food and nutritional sciences. 
Change of Mind – 1st July 
Many of you will know leaving certificate students, some of whom are considering changing their initial CAO choices.

Our graduates work in a wide range of areas including food production, quality assurance, new product development, food safety, nutrition, dietetics, and in the biomedical and biopharmaceutical industries. Many are self-employed in various niche sectors. UCC graduates have always had wonderful career paths and our alumni are highly valued in the Food Industry, both in Ireland and abroad.

  • Stonewell Apple and Passion Fruit

Passion isn’t in short supply at Stonewell and there’s been plenty of it over the last ten years. It seemed logical therefore that our 10th anniversary seasonal cider in 2020 should reflect that. Inside this bottle you will find a fusion of fermented Jonagored, fresh apple juice and a hint of Natural passion fruit. A light yet fruity apple flavour with a hint of the tropics. 
If we are not able to go to exotic places this summer, Stonewell is bringing exoticism to you. Sit down, put your feet up and enjoy a refreshing Stonewell Apple and Passion Fruit.

  • Grow with Aldi support for Irish suppliers during the Covid-19 pandemic
De Róiste Foods, Ballyvourney, Co. Cork

Situated in Ballyvourney, Co. Cork, De Róiste Foods was set up by Jimmy Allen and his sons Declan and Cathal, where now a team of nine local employees help to produce an award-winning Irish range of black and white and pudding. Using traditional methods passed down by family generations and garnering both Blás na hÉireann and Great Taste Awards, Ballyvourney black and white pudding is a firm favourite loved by Irish households nationwide. It is available in all 142 Aldi stores nationwide. 
Being awarded a 12-month contract following a successful ‘Grow with Aldi’ specialbuys launch in 2019 allowed De Róiste Foods to increase its production and to expand its business offering. This includes a brand new product line of ‘Ballyvourney Sausages’ which will consist of two flavours - Tomato & Herb and Herb & Garlic created for the summer BBQ season, which will launch in all 142 Aldi stores nationwide on the 31st May, as part of the ‘Grow with Aldi’ 2020 programme.

The Grow with Aldi programme has enabled De Róiste Foods to supply all 142 Aldi stores around Ireland, a lifeline during the uncertainty of Covid-19 pandemic. The De Róiste Foods team has met recent challenges with a significant loss in sales and orders from the closure of hotels and cafes. However, the major push on the retail sector and in particular Aldi to keep shelves fully stocked has allowed the team to weather the storm. 
Co- Founder of De Róiste Foods, Cathal Allen said, Many aspects of our business such as supplying to cafés and hotels literally disappeared overnight, but we have seen a surge in our business with Aldi through the Grow with Aldi initiative. The reduced payment terms that Aldi activated during this Covid-19 crisis has played a critical and crucial part in allowing us to keep all our nine employees in a job. The Grow with Aldi initiative has allowed us the opportunity to pick up the phone anytime, I know the team on a first name basis and it just helps to build great business relationship.
