[Timbo]

There was talk of NZ lamb on its way last week.

 

[JD-Kid]

even as a kiwi thats bull5hit if they are selling it mislabeled if the British shoppers want to support. there local farmer then it should be clear for them to know what they are buying ..
been a harder year here. slow growth so will be a long drawn out. season in alot of areas

What the actual fudge

 

[Fake it ‘til you make it]

I don’t think that could be much clearer, to be honest

 

[serf]

Oxymoron or what

 

[Razor8]

have to agree. Seen a lot worse examples

 

[Fake it ‘til you make it]

‘New Zealand’ appears 4 times on that label, plus the NZ flag.

 

[Stw88]

Should it not read “packaged in the uk” how the f@#& can it be produced in the uk!

Fair enough but why the uk flag as well?

Seems a bit duplicitous?

Clarity of labelling is a nightmare and examples such as this don’t help.

Exactly

I doubt that, but you could always report it toTrading Standards if you disagree!

Only thing they should send over here is their kaiwakas

and as a Faker thats right up your street.

Ok, I half expected that reply.

yep NZ has a the Union Jack integral to their flag.....and I’m grateful for that.

But look at the label again. But of blue and couple stars one side they prob mean nothing to the average consumer.

Yet on the left a very clear representation of the Union Jack that is recognisable to 95% of the population making them think it’s UK lamb.

Most buyers arnt going to look close enough to see it’s NZ lamb, they see a hint of Union Jack and think all good.....if they think at all about food origin.

 

[Fake it ‘til you make it]

Is the label technically compliant? I believe so.

Have the marketing people muddied the water? Undoubtedly.

Would some consumers be misled? Probably.
