        He said the products were being sold to consumers as ‘best British beef’… Morrisons the best ??

          not morrisons, tesco, asda, aldi, lidl, sainsbury or coop.. not many left if its a nationwide.. a couple of frozen chains and a couple of high class ones; the rest are probably just regional.

          as they say tho, if one has it????

            It says they buy meat from the EU and the UK. Some of the frozen food retailers sell chicken from the EU.

              m and s and waitrose both say ‘its not me’, so not many left.. 2 nationwide mostly frozen food co’s and a few  ‘less than nationwide’ supermarkets really.

              anyway its not really the supermarket but its supplier that is the culprit i think.

                      Never heard of them myself. However what is suprising is the incident happened in 2021 and were only just hearing about it!

                      Having had numerous steaks when visiting the US its unlikely going to kill you. Still its nice to know where your food comes from and labeled correctly so we can make our choice before buying.

                        They’re quite expensive, on a par with Selfridges. They used to have one at Media City in Salford for all the rich presenters.
