Crack down on any supermarkets using misleading labels to suggest imported food is grown in the UK to protect British farmers, customers and our farming standards.
Why is this important?
Supermarkets need to stop misleading us so that they can undermine British farmers who have higher standards. They’re accused of stamping Union Jacks and “Made in Britain” on food grown abroad so you think you’re buying local but it undercuts us with cheap imports.
When the Government saw the media backlash this caused, they immediately opened a public consultation about how to make sure food labels tell you where your food comes from. They're deciding right now how to address misleading food labels, and we're worried they won’t know how sick we all are of being ripped off and misled. They need to hear it’s time to crack down on supermarket bosses.
We saw them spring into action in March, but to show the backlash hasn’t died down we need hundreds and thousands of people like you to sign the petition so Defra knows that they have to do whatever it takes to make sure food labels aren’t meaningless to protect our food standards.
