NZ lamb

[Tim W]

yes,oh and those supacrooks, oh and those huntaways

& some halfway decent wine

As a general consumer.... what will they see?

Nice image which strongly hints it’s lamb.

A picture paints a thousand words....

They definitely need to tighten up on what constitutes produced. To me processed would be a more honest description

 

[Kiwi Pete]

The Union Jack conveniently features on the NZ flag too

This really is confusing, then. Next thing we'll have British tourists down here, spending money no less

@Kiwi Pete What is the lamb schedule doing at the moment? These legs are retailing at 11 NZD per kg up here..

To be fair, any consumer would have to be reading the wee print to see ‘produced in the UK’. The fact it is New Zealand lamb (a strong brand which the retailers surely wouldn’t wish to hide anyway?) is clearly displayed all over the packaging.

There are plenty of examples of much more devious deception in supermarkets that we should perhaps be more concerned about?

Dropping slowly as supply comes on, about $6.30/kg I think.
As @JD-Kid said a fair few are in a hurry to offload, maybe in the position of being a bit overstocked coming off a couple of dry years.

The market is a LOT stronger when the Chinese are hungry, same with most commodities in this respect. We haven't got covid-19 just about to be discovered, this year so I don't forsee a massive price jump due to Chinese interests

Good call, IMHO if you buy your groceries from a bloody supermarket then you get what you're given.

Patronise a butcher FFS, everyone is going on about supporting rural economies, but not walking the talk

Only thing they should send over here is their kaiwakas

I bet you love a pair of flexothane’s really

 

[Skintagain]

Unless it’s horse I think they have been cunning but not deceitful.

I wonder how our lamb is labelled in France etc.

i totally agree but things like produced in Uk when it’s not needs to be nipped in the bud too. If they get away with the small things it’s gives others the encouragement to be more bold in their advertisement

Your right and if we were getting 60 pound a lamb we would have every right to be up in arms but where not where getting 90/100 pound so we cannot complain about a bit of friendly competition

Is their such a thing as friendly competition, it’s just competiton. It’s funny that whatever I buy anything from New Zealand from Prattley hurdles to waterproofs, it’s a hell of a price yet lamb seems very competitively priced

Supermarkets in UK often promote NZ lamb below their cost price

It's a helluva price down here, if that's any consolation! All of it!

It is some consolation to be honest

Won't be happen seeing as Westminster voted against clear country of origin labelling...
