Peters Premier Pie
Posted in Pies by admin
The use of the Saint Georges Cross and association with a well known London based beer suggests that this product is as British as they come. You could be mistaken; the supplier has been unable to confirm which specific country beef reared.

By using St George’s flag on the front, Peter’s Pie here have implied that the pie is British – but the actual origin of the meat (where it was born and bred) is not identified on either the front or the back. If the meat is not British and its product description implies it is from a specific place, then you should clarify where the main ingredient is reared or grown.

This is what I hate about food producers.,,,they make the packaging all glossy and patriotic in the hope you buy it without thinking. No-one has time to run through the list of ingredients on the back of every item in the supermarket and these people are just taking advantage of that. Worse still, even when you look for the country of origin they don’t tell you anyway. Time for them to be shamed into submission!

I cannot believe that companies like this are able to produce such appalling labelling!
I am British and always support the local market when i can, it is companies like this that confuse us and are destroying the British market.

Clearly designed to mislead, it should at least say where the meat could be from.

The copywriter has really used his purple prose on the packaging to say what a wonderful pie is inside, sadly this is not true – it is a bog standard affair. Just another 20 penceworth of meat might just turn it into something edible as the pastry isn’t too bad. Why are all British commercial meat pies empty? Surely one manufacturer could seize the initiative by actually putting some MEAT in it!
