A look at the health and nutrition claims on packaging and whether manufacturers are misinterpreting the law. And a report on rabbit haemorrhagic disease 2.

Nutrition claims
A Norfolk-based food lawyer looks at health and nutrition claims on packaging and whether manufacturers are misinterpreting the law. We test out how often we are being sold something that we think is healthy when there's actually no scientific proof on the label.

Rabbits blighted
There's a new virus killing rabbits. Called rabbit haemorrhagic disease 2, it's putting further pressure on a species already in decline. But as well as decimating wild populations the virus is putting our pet rabbits at risk too. To help scientists assess the impact of the virus, so-called citizen science is being mobilised to monitor wild populations.

Snorkel trails
Exploring the coast doesn't necessarily end at the beach! Divers Rob Spray and Dawn Watson, who mapped the chalk reef off the Norfolk coast, are hoping to start the North Sea's first snorkel trail.
