Scottish produce is disappearing. The brand our food producers have worked hard to achieve, synonymous with quality, is being eroded. Whatever your political affiliation, unionist or nationalist, it's time to get involved and fight to #keepScotlandtheBrandhttp://www.keepscotlandthebrand.scot

Can you tell me if growers, farmers, have any input on labling at all?
-
It's often driven by the retailers, especially the bigger they get.
-
Indeed, but just wondering if a particular grower would have any sway, or not. I've seen two different ones from two different growers, one Angus, one Fife, in same supermarket on the same day, one union flag, one saltire. That's why I wondered, driven by packer?
-
It just confuses the brand, go local, when you can, where ever the local happens to be. Of course as a Thurso lad I know Halkirk strawberries can't be beaten, but Aldi's specially selected Scottish ones get close enough

Interesting in M&S today, strawberries labeled as Scottish with location and saltire, shelf labeling stated British. Beef labeled as UK beef, no country of origin or region. Staff seemed uncomfortable with my questioning of shelf labeling. Confusing, inconsistent.

I know buyers dictate labelling, hence suggesting in other posts that they form co-ops & make it clear they won't sell to supermarkets unless guaranteed those supermarkets WON'T rebrand. They have to be more pro-active themselves. I don't buy UJ marked products. They need to help
