Aldi says the beef dispute is starting to have an impact on the shelves.
German supermarket giant Aldi has said it will start re-labeling some Irish beef as 'processed in the UK' from today.
The chain said the ongoing Irish beef dispute is starting to have impact on supermarket shelves, leading to industry-wide availability issues for Irish beef.
In order to ensure it has a full range of beef and pork products for customers, some of it's Irish suppliers have had to have their beef and pork processed at plants in the UK.
This means that a tray of mince in your local store - may have been slaughted in Ireland, sent to the UK to be processed and packaged - and then sent back to Ireland to be sold.
Irish processing plants have been forced to wind down production due to ongoing blockades at factories.
Aldi says its meats are all still Bord Bia approved.
