Tax on bacon and sausage?

I dont buy into this 'use your local butcher not the supermarket' mantra. Not all local butchers are purveyors of fine quality meat, nor will they be have such stringent hygiene practices as the supermarkets.

 

My local butchers proudly has a Food Standards Agency rating of 5 proudly displayed on its door.

 

The local Morrisons doesn't.

Their lamb, pork, chicken, bacon and sausage was all better and cheaper than our local butchers was - his steak however was top quality.

If your location is accurate, according to this is does.

So does 587 other Morrisons stores, 2622 tesco stores and 780 Asda stores.

 

As for your link, I am really not sure of the relevance. Supermarket trolleys are supposed to go outside. Therefore by their very nature they are exposed to rain, airborne dirt, a critical passing bird and fumes blowing out from every vehicle. That's before we get to disgusting germ filled members of the public putting their grubby hands all over them and revolting children climbing in and out of them.

 

Yes, a supermarket has some cleaning standard to adhere to but its hardly practical nor would customers be prepared to wait for them to clean and disinfect every single trolley before and after each customer. Wonder how many shoppers clean and disinfect their reusable bags after every use?

 

Food is wrapped, bagged, canned, sealed and shrink wrapped for a reason. Its not like people are carrying around a slab of raw meat or veggies just in their hands or straight into the basket.
