If it has labelling for country of origin, that will be it. We don’t import enough supermarket spec beef or pork from the US to keep even a small supermarket chain going.

Other countries are available , ask Larry

Yes, but she’s claiming it’s US and Mexican - which is obviously possible for Californian Aldi stores but not UK ones.

And the country of origin for UK based Aldi stores’ pork is mostly UK and sometimes EU.

No, I disagree. Last I checked, Aldi were mostly UK sourced, and clearly labelled when not (as is a legal requirement). Are you just trying to cause trouble, or do you really think that they would be pulling in meat from the other side of the world whilst the pork price is on the rails?

Feel free to provide a link to your google source though - will be interesting to see. I suspect that you've somehow got yourself onto the Aldi USA site, which would use local and Mexican sources - am I right?

There was an article yesterday on MSN on Aldi meat etc , it had me fooled for a while , but it was referring to Aldi USA , Mexico was mentioned as a source , the prices were in $ though . I think this may have something to with this issue .

The profile says “EU”. I checked.

Most fresh meat in Aldi is deffo British! They use the fact that they source as much as they can from which ever country they trade in... if that makes sense . So in french stores for example... french meat.. very good sales tactic.. remember world wide ALdi is a huge company !

Maybe they changed. It was Glasgow Costco store - maybe they vary across the country too?

It wouldn't surprise me. Not pointing the finger at Tesco but the amount of shitstirring on social media sites makes me think there is a whole new industry out there. Instead of promoting their own products people are badmouthing others.

Can I just add that although it doesn't get much air time there is a lot of strong evidence that supermarkets have played a very big role in the spread of Covid in the UK. I have yet to visit any supermarket that enforces any social distancing rules whatsoever! I am sure I am not alone with that one.
Research has shown that of all socially incurred infections supermarkets are far and away the biggest common denominator. This is true, search for yourselves.

supermarkets should of over the summer installed huge ventilation and uv air filtration before this winters inevitable 2nd wave

I googled “is the earth flat.”.. had me surprised!

They wont have a depot will they? Come now... surely you understand that bit.

Same as their Cake range "Holly Lane" won't have an idyllic bakery with Holly Lane vans in and out.

The Origin is on the pack of Meat with the details of kill cut location etc. They simply sell it labelled Ashfield like they do Pizzas under the name Carlos or Breakfast cereal as Harvest Morn or whatever. It's not hard.

I don't see your problem? There is a road locally called ash avenue, and there is no ashes on it, should there be?

Aldi also sell fish fingers, and fish don’t even have hands
