[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 7421941, member: 430"] All this talk of "lowering standards". The truth of the matter is that it is the processors and retailers that are lowering the standards. The wheat when it leaves the British farrmer's gate is produced to UK legal standards (which are higher than many other countries), and then gold plated with Red Tractor standards on top. These processors are then taking this British (and Red Tractor) wheat and [B]choosing[/B] to mix it with imported non-RT assured wheat grown to an unknown standard.....in order to create their products. This is the part that is not transparent to the end customer who buys the loaf of bread on the shelf. [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)][B]Even if you removed the Red Tractor standards, but a retailer used 100% British wheat (and other ingredients) in their product produced to UK legal standards.....this would still be significantly higher than ANY product produced using imported ingredients. CHOSEN BY BRITAIN GROWN IN BRITAIN THAT'S THE BRITISH STANDARD![/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
