It is banning eight smoky flavourings used in food products due to potential cancer risks. As an alternative to traditional smoking, smoke flavourings may be added to give the flavour. Worst-case scenarioThe experts could not rule out concerns regarding genotoxicity for any of the eight smoke flavourings. For traditional foods such as hams, fish and cheeses that use these smoky flavourings as a substitute for traditional methods, the timeline is five years. Smoky bacon borderOne of the unusual knock-on effects is that there will be what is termed a “smoky bacon border” between Northern Ireland and mainland UK.

I have one vague memory of Father’s Day from my childhood. I know that I never cared about Father’s Day when my dad was alive. I remember really caring about Father’s Day in 2008 though, six months after Dad had died. On reflection now, I’ve realised that I’m glad I never treated Father’s Day as something special. I mark Father’s Day now, because I don’t get to mark a normal Tuesday with him.

There is still no need for your dog to be in a restaurant. Now before I go any further, I should note that I’d class myself firmly as a ‘dog person’, and childhood pets like our beloved Golden Retriever, Cookie, have over the years taught me how quickly a canine companion can become part of the family. A column from writer at large Neil Mackay in The Herald last month did a great job of pinning down exactly the issue with dogs in public spaces, and the answer is really quite simple. After all, who’s to say that I won’t change my tune should my work schedule ever allow me to adopt my own pup. But until then allow me to be a fun sponge for just a little longer and say no, your dog probably doesn’t need their own version of steamed dumplings with a side of bone broth.

A nighttime routine and morning routine work hand-in-hand. “Your sleep routine, your winddown routine starts from the moment you wake up,” says sleep coach Tom Coleman, who also hosts the ‘Sleep and Health Podcast’. After a couple of days of getting out of bed earlier, getting into bed a little earlier each night was also much easier. Exposure to daylight and a bit of movement are also among Coleman’s cornerstones for the perfect morning routine. But you get up, you get [morning] light and get a bit of movement in, and you’ve started your morning routine.

Winning smiles... Offaly senior hurling manager Johnny Kelly (left) is congratulated by All-Ireland winning U20 manager Leo O’Connor in Croke Park last Saturday. Kelly hails Offaly players who battled on the bleak daysBy Kevin EganCroke Park in summer is very different to bleak spring days in Blessington or Bekan, but Offaly manager Johnny Kelly wasn’t about to forget where his team has come from, or the players that were there all along the way, when he reflected on last Saturday’s Joe McDonagh Cup final win over Laois. What they’ve done for Offaly today has been outstanding, and not just today,” Kelly said, as he reflected on his team’s 2-23 to 0-26 win in a fixture that continues to throw up memorable contests. He also pointed out that many previous Offaly stars could just as easily have found themselves in a similar situation, if they played under modern structures. “It’s a great competition, the Joe McDonagh, I agree with it, I think there has to be a tiered structure.
