Re: Frozen Chicken pieces
I would love to say we only buy British but price drives me to whatever is cheapest. I know animals are treated better here too but when faced with can I afford chicken for my meat eater or not I am afraid I come down on his side rather than the animals. Not proud of it but needs must I believe.

I think some people never read labels as you say, but also sometimes labels are cleverley worded too. It will say things like - "packed in UK for ............ (whatever company), but that doesn't mean the meat was reared and slaughtered in the UK as well. It could be imported in bulk, then just re-packed in the UK into small bags.

You obviously buy it, so is there a complaint? I most definitely wouldn't buy it.

Both are too risky.Chicken meat cannot be freely imported into Australia due to strict quarantine requirements in place to protect both local commercial poultry and native birds from disease and consumers from certain food safety hazards.
