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.

Why do people ask randoms on here for stuff like this and get wrong answers when surely you would do proper research.

Nestle is a Swiss multinational. Although you may have independent reasons for boycotting the company.

Yes he will be digging Epstein up next and giving him mouth to mouth.

Maybe get rid of the big thing, your phone, it is likely it uses Google or Apple run rather than fretting about mayonnaise

You are unlikely to find many thinks ‘made in America’ in a uk supermarket. So unless you are buying raisins in packets and tinned pumpkin I don’t think you need to worry… brands like Heinz and nestle that manufacture and produce products in factories in Europe. Which in what trump is trying to do… get companies to build a factory in the us

most important are as people have said, things like technology and machinery. Many machines in hospitals will have parts manufactured in the us

Lancashire Farm yogurt is British, and possibly Longley Farm too but haven't checked. So we're good for yoghurt and cottage cheese at least.

American companies own all the big chocolate makers here - so I buy Lindt made in Switzerland. However I've just looked up Chocolate makers and there are quite a few smaller companies in the UK including Montezumas, Thorntons, Whitakers and Charboennel and Walkers.

Yes - microsoft, facebook, whatsapp, reddit, then all the movie streamers, internet cloud storers, ebay etc etc - I spose we could do a mass avoidance of eg X which would hit their pockets. Otherwise we pour loads of money into their tech companies and watch their advertising.

@Sallysoup yes Longley farm yogurts (the very best in the world!) are from Holmfirth in Yorkshire. But they don't seem to supply enough stores especially down south.

What you cannot forget is that even though you may want to boycott Trump, it is the everyday factory/ company owner who is affected. They have reduced revenues and cannot offer their employees a raise. Think of the effect of Brexit on SMEs. Deciding to boycott a company itself, say Nestle (Swiss), makes more of an impact on that one company and not the whole country. Some people refuse to bank with certain banks due to their investments in the arms trade, which affect the people of Gaza, Israel, Ukraine, DRC etc, and everywhere arms are traded.

Buy from local independent producers and from people who know exatly where their stock originates. It's hard to avoid Americana in supermarkets

Morrisons is owned by a private American company. Not sure about the other supermarkets, apart from Waitrose is UK owned.

Been looking into this and it's a mine field. Would like to start doing it myself. From what I understand lidl prioritise uk and European produce over US. Though they do still sell some US products, they're mostly not.😂

I was browsing a seperate topic on UK and somehow this came up on my feed. At first I thought it was petty, but the more I thought about it the more I think Boycotts are a good idea. You see THE UK no longer represents any heritege or western values I recognise. You no longer defend free speech nor deffend your own people from attack.If I have any cousins left they're the ones being stabbed. You and the rest of Europe have tarriffed US products for decades and now suddenly are hurt when we level the same tariffs back. So My solution is to wish you good luck on your boycott, and I too will be pushing for a boycott here in the United States against Everything British and EC/EU. After all it's my nations tradition starting with the Boston Tea Party. A number to remember....UK imports about 46% of it's food. We import about 1.17% of our food from the UK. We have a domestic market worth about 30 trillion, you have a domestic market of about 3 trillion. We have subsudized your media and the BBC in the billions, we have covered the majority of your security and military costs. What we do import is luxary items we can do without. And I get my Tea from India and Srilanka directly. But thank you for the idea. Also don't ask for our help when your leaders kick off ww3 this time. You are on your own. Good luck..this cousin thing is over.

To be fair we were on our own the first two times till you turned up a few years in.

@Sallysoup yes Longley Farm is British, they are based in Holmfirth, South Yorkshire. Long live Longleys !
