I’m confused about the origin of some products as dried chickpeas from Sainsbury’s don’t say where they’re from, but some basmati rice does
Since September 2023 I have been checking food labels when we go to our local Tesco and Sainsbury’s for the country of origin and am concerned by what I found.
I bought Tesco dried chickpeas very clearly labelled “produce of Russia” and “packed in the UK”. However, in Sainsbury’s the chickpeas just say “packed in the UK” on the can, with no country of origin.
