Changes to EU food labelling laws will be coming into force from 13th December 2014 meaning all suppliers providing food and drink products will have to provide full allergy information to consumers. This new European legislation will be enforced in the UK by Trading Standards and failure to comply could lead to prosecutions. The aim is to help provide allergen information in a clearer and more consistent way so customers know exactly what they are consuming.

A KitchenAid mixer takes centre stage in the kitchen. The colour, the style and the strong presence for which it portrays are just a few reasons why this mixer is admired by so many. But there may come a time when your mixer is on its last legs so calls to be replaced, which is why Nisbets have launched the KitchenAid Commercial Mixer Trade-In. The offer applies to the commercial mixer which means that you can simply trade in the old for a new heavy duty or professional – fear not, attachments such as the sausage stuffer, pasta maker, mincer and grain mill will fit these new mixers too. What’s more, you will receive £100 off your new mixer and a KitchenAid Artisan toaster completely FREE!
The Heavy Duty Mixer comes in three different colours and is renowned for being KitchenAid’s quietest model. It boasts a range of useful features, including its 6.9Ltr stainless steel J handle bowl which allows for ultimate control when dealing with heavy mixture loads. Also Included is a pouring shield which ensures precision when adding ingredients, and the versatile power hub fits a vast range of attachments such as the stainless steel whisk and nylon coated beater and dough hook - already included within this promotion. Its smooth and rounded bowl-lift design with lift lever means that the KitchenAid Heavy Duty Mixer is effortless to operate, whilst the heavy duty motor with direct drive transmission means this mixer can mix large quantities of ingredients at any single time. Examples include 19 egg whites, 1.9Ltr whipped cream and 4.5kg cake mix – that’s a lot of cake!
