Co-operative wins Best Banger in Britain Award

The SuperMeat & Fish awards aim to reward excellence in supermarket retailing of meat and fish - at both store level and in the manufacturing of fantastic food products.

The Co-operative’s Truly Irresistible Gluten Free Sausages use only British Hampshire Breed Outdoor Reared Pork. They have a high meat content, a hint of pepper and a meaty and succulent texture, whilst being completely gluten free.

Best Sustainable Product was also awarded to The Co-operative for its Breaded Icelandic Line Caught Cod portions.  The Co-operative Icelandic Line Caught Cod portions are responsibly sourced from a fishery that uses traditional methods which minimise environmental impact. The Co-operative introduced its Responsible Fish Sourcing Policy in 2008.

Lynne Forbes, Category Development Manager for Meat & Fish at The Co-operative, commented: “These awards demonstrate that The Co-operative is continuing to make innovative and great tasting meat and fish products, whilst also striving to source responsibly and ethically. We’re very proud of our achievements and hope that shoppers try our best banger on the barbie.”
