Mind you apt name for the chairman Mr Sly.

Silver Spoon is the cheapest in my area but I would pay more as I actively support British farmers

None of that alters the fact that Tate and Lyle are being dishonest.
In fact it probably explains it

[barry1010]

If the front of every packet didn't have 'cane sugar' across the front in large letters I'd agree that it's dishonest. I've just looked at my coffee car, that states 'produced in UK'

[ichkeria]

If it says "made in Britain" or whatever it's dishonest.
It doesn't really matter what else it says.

Lots of products indeed try to curry favour by emphasising a link with close to home: but I don't think for example Yorkshire tea has "made in Yorkshire" on it.

Load of rubbish.

[barry1010]

My Tetley tea packet says 'manufactured in Great Britain'.

Every year I buy my wife gold jewellery from the same jeweller in Birmingham. He makes it to our design, so it is 'made in Birmingham'. The gold wasn't mined in Birmingham or even in the UK.

If the sugar cane was sold to us in the same state that is imported by Tate & Lyle it wouldn't be much good for our tea. The make (manufacture) it in Britain.

I think it would be dishonest if they put a made in Britain sticker on a piece of sugar cane. A product made from the imported raw material though ( like refined granulated sugar ) is made wherever it's made. Britain in this case.
