From sausage to steak, we’re supporting British farming communities by sourcing 100% of our fresh meat from Britain.

At the Co-op, we know food provenance really matters to our customers, which drives our enthusiasm to invest in the UK economy so that British food has pride of place on our shelves. British products are the ‘staples’ of our stores. From fresh beef, chicken, pork and sausages to the meat in our sandwiches, chilled pies and ready meals – we make it easy for our customers to choose British.

Since we began in 1844, we’ve been sourcing goods from across the UK. Today, we continue to be a major supporter of British farming and home produced foods, trading with almost 2,000 UK farms and over 500 suppliers from across the UK. We also aim to invest further in the UK economy by building on our commitment to source more British goods – an investment we believe will amount to £500m a year.

Sourcing British food matters to us – not just because it contributes to the UK economy and employment, but also because our customers expect it. It offers reassurance and helps them trust food security and sustainability – and, of course, a viable agricultural sector is essential to feed the UK’s growing population.
