Every time supermarket beef shrinks in the pan — now you'll know why. I'm a working British farmer who doesn't supply supermarkets, which means I can tell you what farmers inside the supply chain can't. Modified potato starch is being added to beef at the processor level — not by the farmer — specifically to retain injected water weight. Legal. Declared. Buried in small print. This is food fraud UK hiding in plain sight. I'll show you exactly how the system works, what to look for on the label, and what you can do about it. The product in question is a roasting joint here Want real meat? Shop now : Find your local farm:

THIS NEEDS SHARING. THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL! Astonishing. Tesco’s are selling their “quality roast beef” and adding potato starch to it… And you’re paying £9.99 a kilo for the privilege. I cannot believe why anybody wants to buy meat from Tesco. Not only do they not pay their Farmers fairly and undermine their produce with additives- they are ripping the consumer off big time. Share this message FAR AND WIDE. Support your proper meat suppliers.

CONTAINS FROZEN MEAT??? They said it's "lean beef steak mince." What they buried in the cooking instructions tells a completely different story. I bought this from Tesco myself. Nothing staged. What came out of that pan — and what the scales said — is not what the label on the front implies. This isn't a Tesco problem. This is every pack of mince in every supermarket chiller in this country. I'm a working farmer and primary producer. Beef leaves my farm in exceptional condition. What happens between the farm gate and that packet is the story nobody in the supermarket industry wants you to watch. Find your local farm shop, your local butcher, or ask questions about where your food actually comes from. There's no such thing as cheap beef. #BeefMince #SupermarketScandal #FoodInvestigation #UKFarming #WhatIsInYourFood #FoodLabelling #BritishBeef #ConsumerRights #RadmoreFarm #FoodFraud

WARNING for anyone buying beef mince this week. I’m a working British farmer and primary producer, and I’m going to give you 6 reasons I do not trust supermarket mince – and why you should think twice before putting it in your trolley. With mince now often £7–9 a pack in the big supermarkets, the question isn’t just “can I afford it?” – it’s “who’s actually getting that money?” In this video I break down: • Why the “cheap” mince is usually higher in fat (and why that’s not obvious on the front of the pack) • How pack size tricks hide the real price rise in the £/kg • What it really means when supermarket mince is sold at or below the true cost of production • Why traceability from farm to pack matters – and how supermarket mince dilutes that accountability • How “fresh” mince can actually be previously frozen meat that’s been thawed for the chiller • How Union Jacks, welfare logos and “trusted farmers” slogans can become a smokescreen when prices are hammered down This isn’t about telling you never to buy supermarket beef. It’s about showing you the games that get played with labels, fat content and pricing so you know what you’re actually paying for. There is no such thing as cheap food – only food where someone else is paying the bill. When you spend £7–9 on supermarket mince, a lot of that vanishes into the system. When you spend £7–9 with a British farm, it pays for actual feed, actual bedding, actual people – and it stays in your local area. Same money. Completely different impact. If you want more no‑BS breakdowns from a farmer who actually produces food for a living, hit subscribe and turn on notifications. — More videos exposing supermarket smokescreens and “cheap food” myths: This is my view as a working British farmer. Always do your own research and make your own choices – but at least now you know what questions to ask next time you’re standing at the mince shelf Want real meat?

Tesco got caught lying about food waste by 27 percentage points - and you paid higher prices for their "sustainability" fraud. But the scandal goes deeper: they're binning perfectly good British produce while charging you £1 billion to cover it. Here's what the supermarkets don't want you to know. 🚨 TESCO CAUGHT RED-HANDED (2024): → Claimed 45% waste reduction in sustainability reports → Late 2023 audit exposed the truth: only 18% reduction → 27 percentage point LIE to consumers → Tens of thousands of tonnes sent to "animal feed" actually went to energy recovery → Scandal broke January-February 2024, Tesco fired contractor → NO PENALTIES. NO REFUNDS. They just moved on. → You paid higher prices for "sustainability" they never delivered 🗑️ THE WASTE SCANDAL COSTING YOU MONEY: → UK supermarkets bin 100,000 tonnes of EDIBLE food annually (250 million meals) → £1 BILLION cost built into YOUR shopping prices → 20-40% of British farm produce rejected for "cosmetic reasons" (perfectly safe to eat) → Top 10 chains donate less than 9% of consumable surplus → Tesco donates 13.7% (bins 86 out of every 100 edible items) → Sainsbury's donates 3.8% (bins 96 out of every 100) → Iceland donates 1.7% (bins 98 out of every 100) 💔 THE CHARITY DUMPING SCANDAL (March 2025): → Foodrise "Used By" Report: 91% of food aid workers had to DISCARD business donations → Supermarkets dump inedible, damaged, expired food on charities → Charities pay £££ to dispose of supermarket rubbish → Supermarkets claim "redistribution" credit in reports and get TAX BREAKS → Food banks get rotten stock while perfectly good British produce gets binned 🌾 BRITISH FARMER PERSPECTIVE: → farmers grow food that gets rejected for not looking "perfect" → Wonky carrots, slightly marked apples, potatoes that aren't round enough → Perfectly safe, perfectly edible - REJECTED for appearance → I can't afford to waste - every crop matters → Supermarkets build waste into their business model and YOU pay for it 💰 WHO PROFITS FROM YOUR HIGHER PRICES: → Supermarkets build waste costs into EVERY item you buy → That loaf of bread costs 20p MORE to cover their waste → They get tax breaks for "donations" (even unusable rubbish) → PR value from "fighting food waste" campaigns (while binning 91%) → Tesco lied by 27 points - NO PENALTIES, NO CONSEQUENCES → March 2025 legislation has enforcement LOOPHOLES ⚠️ THE TRUTH THEY'RE HIDING: → They reject British produce for cosmetic reasons → They bin 91% of what reaches stores → They dump rotten food on charities and claim credit → They lie about waste reduction in sustainability reports → They charge YOU £1 billion to cover it all → British farmers are held to higher standards while supermarkets waste with impunity 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: Which supermarket do you trust least with food waste?

I found two different starches in a Tesco pork joint. Not one — two. Here's what they do, why they're there, and what it means for the price you're actually paying. Tesco Basted Pork Loin Joint (800g) ingredients: Pork Loin (90%), Water, Sea Salt, Modified Maize Starch, Sugar, Tapioca Starch, Rosemary Extract. I'm a primary producer. I don't supply supermarkets. That means I have no agenda except showing you what's actually in the food reaching your plate — and what the label is telling you, if you know how to read it. In this video I break down what Modified Maize Starch and Tapioca Starch are doing in a whole pork joint, why two starches are used together, and how this connects to the same approach I exposed in a Tesco beef roasting joint weeks ago. The information is on the label. It always has been. But it's written in language designed not to slow you down in the aisle. Want real meat? Shop now : Memberships:

I'm launching the 'Bring Back The Sunday Roast' campaign - Why? Because families around Britain are losing something precious. Sunday dinners used to bring us all together - grandparents, parents, kids, neighbors - around one table, sharing proper British food and real conversation. But it's not just about the food - it's about rebuilding the Sunday tradition that made British families stronger. Join the Sunday Roast Revival and let's bring back proper family time, real food, and the community spirit that built our nation. Week 1 will be a roast Chicken- for this you will need: British Chicken British potatoes British Veg of your choice (ill have carrots and parsnips at least) British Oil (for roasting) Sea Salt Pepper Instant Gravy or something more special if you prefer And family to eat it with. #BringBackTheSundayRoast #FamilyTradition #BritishFood #SundayDinner #CommunitySupport

Switching UK products from palm oil back to real dairy fats where possible would help absorb our record milk oversupply (hitting 13.05 billion litres in 2025/26), support struggling farmers with better prices, and reduce demand for palm oil that’s linked to tropical deforestation—making it a win for local dairy and global forests in one simple swap!

Thanks to the government, we will now no longer be able to have farmland scenes like this one, after it’s been announced they are scrapping SFI. An initiative that farmers and the government have been working on together to create wonderful and ecologically friendly conditions for all sorts of wildlife above and below ground. Such a shame. No Farmers, No Food #farmer #farm #farming

The Government just spent £650,000 of your tax money on a "Basic Farming" course. Here is the proof. If you hired a builder to fix your roof, and then found a receipt showing he spent your deposit on a course called "How to Use a Ladder," you would sack him immediately. Well, the government department responsible for UK food security just did exactly that. In this video, I am exposing Contract C27616. It shows that the people writing the laws on British farming are spending nearly three-quarters of a million pounds of taxpayer money to teach their staff... what a cow is. They are paying consultants to explain "Soils," "Crops," and "Livestock" to the very people who regulate them. This isn't just a waste of money. It is proof that the people in charge have no idea how your food is produced. And you are paying the bill. Want real meat?
