Larry Goodman will be furious about that - he'll be onto ABP Shrewsbury (for that's where he cut and packed it - GB4109).
If they'd been more careful in how they'd placed the barcode sticker they should have been able to cover all the NZ flag's stars and the bit where it actually says, "New Zealand", thus fully disguising it's origin.

It's got ABP Shrewsbury abbatoir code on.
So whose buying it? Aldi while ABP pack it or ABP buying to sell to Aldi?

If I had to bet, I'd say ABP buying it to sell to Aldi - it's got LG written all over it

I'm not over bothered by that...the top label is obscuring the nz flag and it clearly says 'nz lamb'
worse perpetrators about IMO
mind you it should state how many 'climate miles' it's travelled

Long thought it would be interesting if supermarkets had to put food miles on packaging. 🫤

I'd seriously like my meat to be truly traceable. Not just origin but breed at least. More if it will fit on the label. I shop for my own groceries and I can assure you, Red Tractor is something I ignore as I can't see the relevance, sorry lads!

A superb idea that I share, if only we had an industry-wide organisation to promote UK Ag...
Joking apart, I have written to my MP, the SOS, my MS and Lesley Griffiths (Welsh Ag 'minister') and half a dozen others suggesting this and got... nowhere... the simple truth is we need cheap foreign food to keep coming in and, although food miles are ever so important in this environmentally friendly world, some things are more so...
That written, if you want it done, get Labour to put it in their manifesto, the Tories will then have to match it, so it will at least be on the table regardless of who is in government.

It's not the barcode on the actual label - was this in the reduced bin or something?
That one doesn't look so good in all honesty.
However, it does suggest that they were all just slapped on at random, if it had been a concerted effort to mislead surely they'd all have been put on in a similarly purposeful fashion?

I thought the photo would be self explanatory….. and I didn’t sort through to find that, all the same….. deliberately misleading punters to buy lamb that appears UK…. When it’s travelled half way round the world …. Literally.
