Maybe one half is British and the other New Zealandish?
Sians just said can they claim it's British if it was packaged in this country?
They can't use the Red Tractor sign though. The little oval stamp can say UK EEC, then a code for where it was packed. Then somewhere in tiny writing it will say "produce of New Zealand, packed in the UK". Or if you're Makro, you won't even try and hide the fact
I may have said this before today, but it's b*llocks like this that rips my knitting

Makes me mad as well. It's either or New zealandish and if it's New Zealandish then what the feck are they doing selling it here

At least I've had one laugh today.
But it is bloody scandalous and does make you wonder (again) why we all go along with the RT scam.

That is very misleading, is it of British or New Zealand origin? Very odd.

I have a passport....it declares me as British.
Why do cattle passports not work a similar way, and therefore it can only be sold by what's on the passport?
I vote for biometric cow passports...! Please come over here Daisy and place your eye against the scanner....

On another note....I guess we should be grateful that it's not horse!
Maybe they are just following UK immigration policy since Tony and his cronies came to power.
Tin hat on.

Can we breed animals that have Union Jack coloured meat rather than the boring red stuff? At least that way I think we'd stand half a chance.

Shouldn't the red tractor lot be on their case too? They are seemingly using that 'very valuable' branding under false pretences.
On another note, a whole lamb carcass at 12.5kg minimum? Isn't that a big rabbit?
That would be 25-30kg lwt.
