It seems Northern Irish milk isn’t Irish enough for the IFA

Lots of “fake” brands in Lidl and Aldi across the UK, it’s one of their ways of using local produce and making sure it also sounds local.

They are two of the supermarkets who sell predominantly local fresh produce.

I don't see the issue with their “fake” brands. All of their milk in Scotland is Scottish, under a Scottish sounding brand name.

Tesco on the other hand have in the past tried to make Polish bacon or such sound like it’s come from a farm in the Home Counties for example.

Another 'fake' brand from lidl, made by Dale Farm. What difference does the brand name make as long as people are buying plenty?



From an article in Dairy Global about the Dale Farm contract with Lidl.
This Dale Farm cheese is one with many brand names as it will go the on-shelves in Lidl Ireland under the supermarket’s ‘Rathdaragh’ own-brand, in the UK and Europe as ‘Valley Spire’ and ‘Milbona’, and in the Unites States as ‘Preferred Selection’.
