Red Tractor, the independent and not-for-profit scheme run by Assured Food Standards, celebrated its 10th birthday on Tuesday at a ceremony on London�s Southbank.
As part of Red Tractor Week (14-20 June), Janet Street Porter � who is fronting the campaign � was joined by NFU President Peter Kendall, Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman and David Gregory, Chairman of Assured Food Standards, to cut a giant six-foot Red Tractor cake.
David Gregory of AFS, said: �We are delighted with the success of Red Tractor to date, which is now featured on £10bn worth of UK food and drink products1. Red Tractor Week provides a great platform for us to build on this and we have a host of activities planned to raise further awareness of the benefits Red Tractor offers for the industry and consumers. We�re now looking forward to another decade of dynamic growth for Red Tractor.�
