Re: Read the labels!
The same here Silver Tabby. Frozen chicken breast fillets labelled 'Produce of Thailand' so I looked for others and found them, only they were labelled 'Produce of Poland, made from Polish chickens'!
The alternative 'out here in the rural sticks' is to drive another 20-mile round trip to another supermarket and chance the same problem.
All in the name of making more profit I reckon. This is happening with many products in many supermarkets too from what I see.
We probably can and do produce chickens ourselves but if chicken is being imported cheaper from abroad then supermarkets will buy that in, as will many shoppers too.
Just yesterday on television a dairy farmer was saying he cannot compete with the cheaper imported milk because he has to follow the rules on the conditions in which he keeps his animals, the foreign importer does not do this so can produce milk cheaper. Many shoppers will buy the cheaper milk on the shelf.
I believe the saying to cover this goes something like 'it is not a level playing field'.
