Buy Local, Support Fair: Uncovering Supermarket Apple Mislabels

In Aldi, we found “Team GB” branded apples but many options were actually imported from France.
Pink Lady. Granny Smith. Golden Delicious.
All wrapped with a “Team GB” logo but not always supporting British growers.
Meanwhile, real local options are there if you know what to look for.

British apple growers are under huge pressure, with orchards being ripped out because they can’t get a fair price for their produce. Every purchase either supports that system... or pushes it further away.

So here’s the simple rule:
Don’t trust the branding
Check the country of origin
Choose local whenever you can

Because “looks British” and “supports British farmers” are not the same thing.

We’re creating awareness so shoppers can make clearer, fairer choices in supermarkets.

Share this so more people start checking the labels before they buy.
