Scary! But it's not necessarily any safer to eat pork labeled as British if it's from certain large supermarkets either The supermarket supplier that my OH used to work for were often told to meet demand any way they could, even if that meant buying in foreign pork to go into products labeled as british pork.

 

Think I'll be giving Lesley and Carl a ring next year!

Scary, thanks for the warning

I only buy bacon from a local farm shop. Horribly expensive, but reared just up the road.

It is very unlikely to get sick from eating the pork. You would have to eat a lot of it over a long period of time to get ill.

True Fred but still worrying

 

- as the contaminant was in the feed then it could be anywhere.............we were feeding organic pig feed to our pigs until September when they went off but even being organic might not be a guarantee that there was no problem with the feed I suppose

 

We certainly won't be clearing our freezer though..........

Outdoor reared local for me too.

I get my pork from http://www.sillfield.co.uk/animals.html#1

 

Supports local farmers as well and they need all they can get.

Of course there's only me and DH, apart from Sundays when we usually have a house full.

Neither will we!!

We buy all our pork from Blythburgh Free range pork. Our local butcher stocks it now so that makes it easier. I think that the man who owns it is Little Chickadee's cousin.
