What supermarket products are genuinely British owned?

[whatcanidotogetthemessagethrough]

I would really like to boycott goods made in and owned by Trumps America- but as others have already said with their stranglehold on all things tech it's almost impossible.

I haven't had a Macdonalds, Burger King, KFC , Pepsi or Coca Cola for years so that isn't really a problem. I dont currently drive a car so again not really an issue,

I am going to cancel Amazon but it got me to thinking about whether many of the products I buy from the supermarket are owned by or made in America. To be honest I haven't react a clue. Although it will probably only amount to a very small action I thought when I go shopping I will try to buy more products that are made in the UK rather than American owned products. Does anyone else do this? Is tt possible to buy British (or even EU) products in the supermarket rather those coming from America? Any ideas on the big brands that I should avoid and what British products I might replace them with? Thank you.

If you shop for low UPF, generally healthy food then you’re avoiding the vast majority of American owned corporations without having to think about it.

Yes I was thinking that. Fruit, veg , meat , fish etc... Must be possible to buy a lot of this from local sources. Would do me the world of good as well. Thanks.

The American food I see most in the supermarkets are sweet potato (check the label to see where it's from, you can get it from other countries too), Betty Crocker, Hershey chocolate and Dr Pepper. And the special sections around 4th July.

You’re fairly unlikely to find any of the above from the USA in a UK supermarket, certainly not to the point that it’s worth fussing over. We shop in M&S + Sainsbury’s - meat/fish is all either Scottish or Irish, our fruit and veg is mostly from the UK with a few items from Europe & Africa.

Brands such as Kraft, betty crocker and anything owned by Proctor and Gamble are the obvious ones.

Just done some googling and did not know that Heinz was now owned by Kraft

Cranberries are usually from USA. Some nuts and dried fruits are. Flour was imported from usa but a quick Google suggests it's from UK and elsewhere now

A lot of raisins and wine comes from California and despite Trump, I wouldn't be wanting to be penalising the people of California right now - they've been through enough.

Buy certified organic, that should cover almost everything

Don't forget Kelloggs, Cadburys (owned by Mondelez/Kraft), Nestle, General Mills (loads of cereal brands), PepsiCo (Walkers Crisps, Doritos). Kraft Heinz brands also commonly seen in UK include Philadelphia, Capri Sun, Lea & Perrins, HP & Maxwell House.

Also, as a PP said, Proctor & Gamble and Colgate Palmolive, both of whom produce and sell most of the personal care items on our supermarket shelves - shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste etc. Plus many of the big brand laundry and cleaning products.

A lot of 'branded' goods are made largely by two companies - proctor & gamble and Unilever. Neither are exactly ethical companies but Unilever is British whilst the other is American. So you can always look up a product and swap accordingly. For instance no more Heinz, will go own brand or Hellman's.

Also I think you are safe with Tesco, Sainsbury's and M&S own brand. I think Aldi/Lidl are German (but not sure). I am not sure about Morrisons and Asda anymore.

For instance no more Heinz, will go own brand or Hellman's.

Hellmans is American too.

I go to different supermarkets but if it's a Waitrose shop I don't think any of it is from America.

Stokes (Sainsbury’s sell it)

It is an American brand now owned by Unilever which is British! But probably best to steer clear anyway, own brand or stokes it is!

I support Waitrose because it is the best for animal husbandry but they stock many American owned products. Heinz, Haribo, Coca Cola etc. Waitrose own brand would be safe.

I'm torn. I want to continue shopping at Costco because they defied the DEI ban. But I don't want to support a lot of US companies. Not sure what to do.

I did not want to be the one to say it but I think your actions are irrational. Nothing you do will affect the millionaire Mr Trump. Besides that he's just done women and massive favour I restoring women's rights in the USA.

😂you didn't want to be the one to say it but thought you needed to!
Oh and he's got Andrew Tate back into the country too.

Walkers crisps are American owned? That’s passed me by. Denial maybe? Oh god, that one’s going to be tough!

Hellmann’s is Unilever = British

And by having Andrew Tate released to his country to continue to traffic and rape women?

Just read the labels surely, and web search large brands, no need to make a fuss about it, obviously don't use Google.

In fact Unilever USED to be British and Dutch (listed on both stock exchanges) but is now solely British (only listed now on the FTSE100 eg Britain)
