Why not just buy Silver Spoon to be sure if it’s British you want?

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Probably French? Sainsbury’s beet sugar usually is.

 

[Farmerpickle]

Why not Tate and Lyle? They are British surely?

They have the Royal warrant on the front of their bags of sugar you know...

 

[Hesstondriver]

Begs the question why sugar beet needs to be RT assured then ???

Proudly put from a big bag into a little bag in Britain maybe…

We should be the cheapest supplier, we get £10/t less than the continent unless British Sugar are making a killing.

It’s ‘packed’ in Britain. As per my previous post. The sugar itself comes from all over the world on a boat.

If it was British beet then surely it would also have RT logo on. As far as I am aware, Silver Spoon is the only British beet sugar (and even they might buy in in a bad year).

Maybe Aldi did not pay for the right to use the logo?

Obviously Aldi source from wherever they can get the cheapest deal on the day, just looked at their website, todays offering is British caster sugar, but granulated is "packed in Britain". They are masters of knocking off food manufacturers names and labels, nuttoka with a label that looks like nutella, ketchup where the label looks like Heinz etc. Why be surprised when they play fast and loose with the Union Flag ?
