Dear Editor,
The Co-op has announced that they will switch to 100% British bacon and lamb
in all of their own brand products. Co-op already have an impressive record of
backing British farming and I would like to take this opportunity to commend
them for taking this one step further.
This is a move that will be appreciated by many of their existing
customers and I have no doubt that this policy will attract new customers to
Co-op stores.
British farming has faced many challenges in recent years and support
from stores like Co-op and restaurants like McDonalds already play a key role in
supporting literally tens of thousands of farms all across the UK. I hope that
more companies will following in Co-op’s very impressive
footsteps.
Regards,
Jonathan Arnott MEP
