WE BUY FOOD that can come from anywhere in the world.

But sometimes, we might not realise exactly where it comes from. A Meath meat company was recently fined for falsely declaring meat from Poland, Lithuania and Germany was from Ireland.

The case underscored the importance of correct labelling on food products, in order for customers to know what they are eating.

But do you check where your food comes from – or do you just choose the product regardless?

Today we’re asking: Do you check what country the food you buy comes from?
