[Closed] Tesco and their meat- food agency complaint?

Was the packaging totally covered?

You can tilt to see under labels.

Some folk like a good bit of crispy fat on their steak.

Stop buying supermarket meat.

How do people work there?

What's that got to do with it - do you expect people to hand in their notice because the minced lamb is too pale ?

😀

Stop buying supermarket meat. and become a vegetarian, think of all the animals that are killed to sustain your need for meat,all GODS creatures.

I'm sure any sensible agency would tell you to complain to the retailer in the first instance.

I hate to say it, because it sounds all preachy, but dont buy fresh goods from the supermarket! Especially meat.

Support your local small retailers
Support animal welfare
But mainly, support good quality food!

You can tell im from ludlow (complete food snob) 😉

Try your local butcher (if there's any that the supermarket hasn't wiped out)

Ernie stupidly I gave the brand new local store a go.

Did you mean "How do people [b][i]shop[/i][/b] there?" then ?

BTW why didn't you leave the minced lamb on the shelf if it looked too pale ?

Local butcher...cheaper for better quality ime.

Lesson learnt.

Why are you buying meat?
Particularly - why are you buying cheap meat?

I haven't eaten cabbages even since we had one as a pet when I was a child.

Project Im not like that miserable lady garden-Morrisey. Meat is good. Nature is about making the most of animals ffs.

Well that lamb isn't going to be UK lamb at this time of year, so naughty naughty for that too, as well as for buying cheap supermarket meat.

Why are you buying meat?
Particularly - why are you buying cheap meat?

Pretty obvious answers to both those questions surely.

I just bought a leg of lamb and gonna slow cook it as Kleftiko tomorrow.

Mmm

Mattoutandabout, are you aware of the new Tesco production cost linked contracts?

Well that lamb isn't going to be UK lamb at this time of year, so naughty naughty for that too,

British lamb is available all year rounds. You're thinking of spring lamb but you'e be wrong there too of course.

Hora, I have been conned in exactly the same way by Tescos when buying steaks , when they sell two per pack one would be nice and the other would be shite. Happend too many times to be a fluke and since then I only buy from the butcher.
It is more expensive but better value at the end of the day. Best thing is that the people at the local butcher is getting to know me better and becoming more generous.

Less is more.

When are the Butchers open round your way?

During the day.

Nature is about making the most of animals ffs.

Ummm..... no. That sounds like an almost biblical claim of dominion... Nature is more about doing what is needed for survival. Of course other species kill unnecessarily sometimes, but man's relationship with animals, with food, has Jeff Hall to do with nature... 😐

what I kill, I eat

We eat animals, some animals would kill and eat us. Others would happily eat our bodies, many would dispose of our bodies.

Its nature- weird this veggie-dont harm the animals stuff. Even weirder when Veggies feed their kids from birth in a veggie lifestyle IMO.

Anywaay- back on topic. I don't mind eating offal or bad cuts as long as its priced accordingly. Tesco, it seems sells bad meat at premium prices. I'll switch to Asda with meat from my Butchers. Tough catching them open though.

You do realise they dye meat so it looks like what you expect it should, don't you?

Green? Purple? Look sit in the corner and eat your copious amounts of cheese but don't wave your life-choice to change anyone. 🙄

Supermarket meat is MORE expensive than the majority of local butchers, except when something is on special offer.

Have a look at the £/kg and make sure its not hiding behind extras like stuffing in pork joints or basting fat on topside joints.

They might have a few loss leaders but they make it up on other stuff. Bacon is generally an absolute rip off in supermarkets

Factory farming is NOT nature, pumping animals full of antibiotics so that they can survive an unnatural existence for our convenience is NOT nature, creating elaborate machines that do our killing for us on production lines is NOT nature.

Trying to instill some sort of morals in your offspring so that they don't just blindly follow the ignorant masses and fail to question anything this self-centred race of ours does [b]IS[/b] natural!
But still..... Every little helps... 😕

So I imagine all your food is sourced from small holdings. Right.

I'm not claiming to live 'naturally', its impossible frankly, but you seem to keep defining what you choose as natural. It's not.

[s]Factory[/s] Vegetable farming is NOT nature, pumping [s]animals[/s] plants full of [s]antibiotics[/s] pesticides and herbicides so that they can survive an unnatural existence for our convenience is NOT nature, creating elaborate machines that [s]do our killing[/s] harvest vegetables for us on production lines is NOT nature.

That's not to say that I agree with Hora's argument or that you don't have a good point but an appeal to nature isn't a strong argument.

Its already been said. Don't buy your meat from supemarkets. If people did in the past, I can't believe they're still doing so now, given what we now know, and have long suspected

TBH i fail to understand [ stupidity/trolling] why some meat eaters keep getting so upset about what veggies do and goad and bait. Does eating pale cheap meat sourced from supermarkets reduce your IQ or do the chemical just lead to OTT knee jerk reactions in slightly portly serial bike frame swappers?

Hora ...oh dear

1. Children are born veggies and then you introduce meat - even when weaned to solids you dont start with steak.

Actually, if you go back we are historically veggies, back in the days of the cave man, it was very difficult for them to catch meat, studies have shown that our prehistoric brothers were 99% veggie, only eating meat very very occasionally!

So you could say that veggie ism is more natural than meat eating.

I am a meat eater btw, I love nothing more than a nice free range chicken Kiev, sourced from my local farm shop 🙂
But to be honest I'd rather be veggie than eat shit meat from supermarkets. But that's my choice.

So caveman lived on lentil bakes and halumi cheese bites?

😆

Its a Modern-mans lifestyle choice.

Its not that hard to catch a cow though, is it? You can sneak up on them and push them over while they're asleep FFS!

It is a modern mans lifestyle choice, I totally agree. And not one I subscribe too, my missus is a veggie, and I've made damn sure, that our lad is not !

I was just pointing out, that historically we are more veggie than carnivorous.

I definitely wouldn't push cows over if they had a more cantankerous disposition, making them prone to irrational violence, and great big pointy teeth

We're opportunists - like chimps or tortoises - if we come across meat we'll have it. Except its easier for us now thanks to MaccyD drive-thrus and Tesco Express.
