Tesco is using the names on seven new brands which were launched on Monday. A spokeswoman said the labels reflected a brand rather than actual farms, and were designed to assure customers that the produce was from trusted suppliers who met Tesco's quality standards, whether here or abroad.

A marketing ploy? Or Tesco's telling the British public lies to boost sales.

What do you think?
