Why pollute the earth shipping breaded chicken from China?
Diggers original crispy chicken is one of the best ready foods we have tasted, However, our grandsons (who we initially bought it for) won't eat it, because it is spicey, even though it doesn't say this on the front of the packaging, just a reference to paprika extract? on the back. So i decided to contact Diggersfoods.com and suggest they produce a plain version that our children could eat. in searching for an address i discovered that this food is produced in China! Why? Are there no chickens or breadcrumbs in this part of the world? On the Diggersfoods.com website, where they appear proud to claim that their burgers are made with 100% Irish beef, there is no mention of the chicken coming from China? Why? I have no doubt the 'EU/UK approved' food producer in China does a great job, as i said, we love this food, however, where is the UK and Ireland's commitment to reducing 'Food Miles' if we cannot even produce breaded chicken without having to travel it by ships that massively pollute the earth all the way from China, also, I thought there were legal requirements for food producers to make it clear to the public where their product comes from and what it contains, yes, Diggersfoods.com do this on the individual packaging, must we go to a shop and read all the packaging, before being able to make an 'informed decision' should we not be able to do that on the website as well?, a website that is very clearly created for selling?
