Why Lidl is good news for all of us

When you shop at Lidl you can be sure you’re getting the best-quality food that’s fresh from the farmer.

Lidl knows how important it is to support British farmers, and wherever possible it sources its fresh produce from British, Red Tractorassured suppliers.

Nearly two thirds of the products it sells are sourced from within the UK, and 100 per cent of its fresh milk, butter, eggs, cream, chicken and beef.

And Lidl makes sure that farmers are paid fair prices for their produce.

It puts its food through stringent quality checks before they hit the shelves too – ensuring, for example, that its oranges are juicy, its apples have crunch and its grapes are sweet.

Lidl is also committed to supporting sustainable fishing practices – hence its five MSC awards.
