Dyson Clean Up In China

Engineering group Dyson has reported record profits in 2014, driven by demand in Asia and a strong performance of its new technology. The company, which made its name manufacturing distinctive bag-less vacuum cleaners, said profits were up 13% to £367m. It now sells 90% of its products outside the UK with a turnover rising to nearly £1.4b. Dyson said it had doubled the size of its business in China. It has a strong presence in other Asian markets, such as Japan and also showed strong sales in Europe. Sir James said "We spent an additional 40% on research and development last year and now spend £3m a week as we develop expertise in entirely new areas."

Heinz Tomato Seasoning

The Israeli health ministry has ruled that Heinz tomato ketchup must now be sold as "tomato seasoning" there.Rival ketchup maker Osem, the top selling brand in Israel, had said the Heinz product did not have sufficient tomato content to be called ketchup. In January Osem said it had Heinz ketchup tested and found it contained 21% tomato concentrate. Israel requires ketchup to have 41% tomato concentrate. The same issues have come up with Chocolate in the past due to laws that milk chocolate in the EU must contain 30% cocoa, whereas in the US it need only contain 10%.

Money Can't Buy Happiness

Markus Persson – the Swedish inventor of the ridiculously popular Minecraft computer game – last week announced that, despite having sold his creation for £1.2bn, he was not happy. In one tweet, Mr Persson wrote: "The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance." So does wealth and money always buy happiness?

Buyers Get The Hump Over Camel Milk

Online retailer Muscle Food has begun selling half liter bottles of raw camel's milk, although shoppers should brace themselves for the hefty £19 per bottle price tag. The chilled milk contains 17g of protein per bottle but is so much more expensive than cow's milk due to the comparative lack of the animal in dairy farming environments - one for every 12,000 cows in Europe. It is rich in vitamins but has a similar taste to cows milk. The health benefits mas led to the product flying of the shelves and the feedback from customers has been positive.

Liquiglide

Mayonnaise that does not get stuck in its container is being developed by a Norwegian company. Orkla is the first food manufacturer to announce a deal with US company Liquiglide to use its non-stick coating in product packaging. Getting the last bit of sauce out of a bottle is a common annoyance for shoppers. Many have shared their frustration on social media. One expert told the BBC some consumers might have safety concerns. "I'm sure consumers do, from time to time, look at the wasted dregs stuck in a bottle of mayo and wonder why suppliers haven't been able to solve the issue," said Vince Bamford, buying and supplying editor for The Grocer. "Embracing this technology would offer a brand a unique selling point, although some degree of education would be required to reassure shoppers that this was a natural product."
