Farmers bitter at Tate & Lyle sugars Made in Britain packaging The National Farmers’ Union has called for a fresh review of grocery products marketed with the flag The sugar is grown in plantations around the world, from Belize to Brazil Credit: Chris Ratcliffe Farmers have accused the food giant Tate & Lyle Sugars of misleading shoppers by putting a Made in Britain logo on its sugar grown in plantations around the world from Belize to Brazil.

Fury at imported sugar sold as British

© Adobe Stock/mailsonpignata British Sugar managing director Paul Kenward has criticised labelling rules which allow imported sugar to be sold with a Made in Britain logo. Imported sugar can be sold with a Union Flag if it is processed and packaged in the UK – even if it was grown abroad. Mr Kenward suggested this was unfair to British sugar beet growers – although it is standard practice and does not contravene any rules. “It annoys me, and I am sure many farmers that a product that is grown in Belize or Brazil, shipped around the world, then cleaned up in the American Sugar Refining facility in London can be packed in a bag with a Union Flag, saying ‘Made in Britain’.”

Defra permits emergency use of neonicotinoids on sugar beet | East Anglian Daily Times

The chemicals were previous used to control virus-carrying aphids, which have since infected sugar beet fields and pose a significant potential danger to the 2021 crop. The government issued a statement which says the special circumstances met the legal requirements for a temporary emergency derogation, and approved the chemical for use in 2021 on England s sugar beet - much of which is grown in Norfolk and Suffolk.
