Maybe you could start a petition eg with Change.org ?

I only buy Scottish meat on the odd occassion I buy it in a supermarket .Most supermarkets here label Scottish produce with a Saltire .I usually buy from a local butcher but when there was a shortage during the first lockdown he advised me to get some chicken in Aldi as they have the same supplier of local chicken he uses ...it was labelled Scottish and with a Saltire

Some years ago I wrote to all the major supermarkets to suggest that they should have a section on their online shopping sites labelled UK Produced so that we can simply and easily choose to only shop from that section.

I got very little in the way of positive responses.

Today I took a Tesco chicken breast out of the fridge and it said Poland on it. What the hell am I doing eating a chicken breast from Poland when Sun Valley chickens is on my doorstep and also lots of small free range producers!

I would like to restart this idea as a campaign to all the supermarkets - if I did so, do you think others would join me and write to them to? How might I get that ball rolling?
