All Asda shops are horrible, they feel dirty, horrible lighting and look like large tin sheds, i never shop there. Great work you are doing with the Bovaer information, this is a scandal and should not be happening.
Btw, I called Aldi customer services yesterday and asked if they use Bovaer in their cow feed, they said a lot of people have been calling to ask this question. The agent kept me on hold for a long while, I was then cut off. I called again and spoke to a different agent asking the same question, I was kept on hold for a long time again, the agent then said that they’re not permitted to answer that question right now. I said I had a right to know, in which the woman I spoke to kept repeating, they’re not permitted to answer right now. I said I have a right to know as a consumer, it’s a straightforward question which can be given a straightforward yes or no answer. She flat out refused. I was fuming in the end. Though I knew, by your very helpful vids, that they do use Bovaer fed cows, but I just thought that the more phone calls they receive asking about Bovaer, the more they may fear loosing customers and with a bit of luck, would pull out of the trials. Thank you Kerry for all your hard and interesting work.
Aldi put out an fb post about being the cheapest supermarket in 2024. I commented that because of their use of Bovaer in feed they've cut my Aldi bill in half, cheers Aldi 😂😂😂
I don't trust big business organic labels... organic farms won't risk their status but supermarket chains have expensive slippery lawyers to help them lie.
Thank you so much for not lecturing us into going to farm shops like a lot of people are on social media. I don't have a car and the nearest farm shop only sells meat. Free delivery if you spend over £200 ! Not after we've paid our energy bills. Tesco's sells Graham's Organic milk
Thank you Kerry for your continued help, I can now just walk in a shop and know what brands are safe to buy, thanks to all the time and effort you have put into this ❤ AND NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SHOULD EVER GET SICK OF HEARING WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT BOVAER ❤❤❤
Kerry, can I add my appreciation for all your efforts in identifying products from cows in the Bovaer experiment - and for reporting outside from freezing cold and windy car parks! You deserve more than a cup of coffee - perhaps make it an Irish one!
You can easily make your own spreadable butter at home. I normally just mix olive oil with butter in the microwave. It melts together after a couple of minutes and when it cools down it becomes spreadable butter that you can keep in the fridge.
@ It tastes great once you get the correct mixture. First time I tried it I put too much olive oil and it tasted quite strongly of olives but still nice😀.
Thank you for those videos.We use milkman delivery for kefyr, butter and re-started buying milk from local farmer.I have stopped buying nestle milk chocolates as they use bovaer milk.Have to start making home chocolate from cocao powder
Yeo Valley is owned by Arla since 2018 and uses Arla milk so even if they claim to be bovaer free for some products it's not 100% guaranteed because of their strong connections with Arla.
I’venot been to Asda for years, it’s very depressing, mainly self service and long queues at a couple of working tills if you’re lucky. Thank you for your work, it’s very helpful what you are doing. Although I don’t eat processed foods I wonder how much Bovaer is getting into the processed food market. It’s going to get very difficult as time goes on because they do intend to regulate Bovaer for cattle etc by 2030, unless some unforeseen health risks start appearing.
It's another great video. :)) I'm much more enlightened when I'm out shopping and that's all down to you- potentially saving lots of people and kids from harm. Truly grateful for all your videos including cooking ones. Thank you so much my love. xXx
@NecessaryDramaAddi I live in Northern Ireland too, and I've been checking. Asda milk, as you know, is Dale Farm. I always buy their products myself. Thank goodness
Hi Kerry I was an Asda drone for 28 years all milk was delivered in Arla trucks, lately I've been buying Cravendale milk although the Internet says it's made by Arla I can't seem to find a 'readable' code anywhere on the label
All the corner shop milk here in Glasgow (southside) seems to be Muller, it's a nightmare! But full shelves anywhere i go so clearly a lot of people savvy to it, hope the message gets across and they change supplier. Thanks Kerry!

Keep the updates coming Kerry. My nearest supermarket is Asda which is just up the road from me. I have actually stopped shopping there because of this bovaer thing. I like to do all my shopping in one shop so if I cant get my dairy there I am not buying anything else there either. I also agree with you about how depressing Asda has become. It hasnt changed a bit since Walmart days and the company that now ownit I think it is unlikely there will be any improvement. Just my opibnion of course.
Agree 100%. The attached asda petrol station had 2 booths that the same women worked in for the last 15 years poss longer, anyway recently they got rid of the women and now it's all automatic, card only not a soul on site. Al was furious and refuses to go there, he misses his asda ladies!
yes its gone right down since being sold from its parent company, been asset stripped by the brothers grim, and as seen by its Christmas trading figures, its not going to alter any time soon
You raise a valid point about budget but there is also the matter of time, how many people have the time to actually look at the product codes to check the source of its contents. Your type of posts are a very good tool in letting people know which products are free from this latest scientific abomination
People are boycotting in those countries too, main stream media saying absolutely NOTHING on this but twitter is awash with EU (& australia - they're furious) people saying exactly what we are saying.
Apparently, i learned that Arla, which is a Swedish/Danish company, tried it out on Swedish public first and they rebelled against it, so they widened their market to include UK. Thank goodness you and others are making us aware of this scary additive. Tampering with cows is not right.
You're doing a sterling job Kerry. Well done. But I can't help thinking it's going to be almost impossible to avoid Bovaer completely as it will probably be in all sorts of food products such as ice cream, custard, cakes, puddings, chocolate, ready meals etc and if you eat out in cafes and restaurants or even go to someone's house you can't be sure you're consuming Bovaer free food and drinks. As you said the other day it's been used in the EU for quite some time and has been used in the UK since April and most people only found out about it towards the end of last year. Large corporations like Arla and Muller are eventually buying up a lot of the smaller companies like Yeo Valley so the choice is becoming more and more limited. Keep up the good work!
@@LenaK-i8r the two brothers have split somewhat now, with shares being sold off to a third party to try and recover debts. They have had to sell off Asda petrol stations here in the UK too. That must sting as petrol stations is how they began.
Hey do not worry about Morrison, they have the same has Sainsbury’s. Some independent butchers deliver, including UK wide. I have found 4 good local butchers. Who delivery nationwide. Try Eadt cost meat Lincolnshire & Taylor’s family butchers in Scunthorpe. Check online & prices are good & but for one month, it’s cheaper. Premier fish Grimsby supply by delivery. Again but for the month it’s cheaper than the supermarket.
Kerry I went to LIDL here in South Carolina and took pictures of dairy labels then came home and emailed them asking about Bovaer. Have not heard back. All LIDL dairy is distributed out of the same place in Virginia. No other useful info. Hopefully they will get back to me! Thank you for your hard work!
Kerry you are right, everyone is on a budget (ok some have bigger budgets than other, I get that) I am doing my best and I go to my local farm shop and buy what I can, I also started a riverford delivery but vegetables from there are about 2-3 times more expensive, a tiny little bit of cheese 180g can cost more than £6 so unrealistic to think that everyone’s budget can stretch that far, it can’t! I wish I could get Wykes cheese or bovaer free cottage cheese, cream cheese, Gouda, emmental cheese, double cream but I struggle. Thank you for all the work you do to help all of us on a budget to try and find affordable but bovaer free food, your a star🌟
well I purchased yesterday, a two litre of organic milk grass fed with soil association symbol on ,and on the panel where the code was on the label, it said see side label,, and next to the sell by date was the code EN006

Working class people can’t afford farm shops except for treats as you say Kerry I have had to reduce my shopping for heating and now again for this,what a blow 😢I informed my brother and he doesn’t want to know so well I tried ,you can take a horse to water …. 👍🏻
That absolutely STUNS me! Unfortunately, most of my family still, quite frankly, don't care! That, despite my Sister losing her only Son to CJD (Human form of Mad-Cow disease!) it annoys me and I also find it hurtful with a curt "Big Deal, we all have to die of something!" - Hard to believe heh?
I already buy dairy direct and think I will either be buying some more stuff direct from Longley Farm or popping along to Home Bargains for some dairy goodness. I got some Grahams goodies on Saturday, they also had Freshways milk and large tubs of Lancashire Dairies yoghurt and various cheeses. Thanks so much, Kerry. ❤
Thanks Kerry. Good to know. Arla have to be honest about their organic dairies or they would be in big trouble 😂. The first time I walked into an Asda I thought it was like a big hangar with the high ceiling. It is very dim lighting in there. Thank you for all your hard work. You're so down to earth.
There are no safety concerns for workers handling the additive when used as directed, and appropriate personal protective equipment is used. The assessment concluded the additive - in its pure form at the manufacturing stage - should be considered corrosive to the eyes, a skin irritant and potentially harmful by inhalation, but is not harmful at the point it is fed to animals.
thank you for opening my eyes, i see easier just exactly what shite ive been buying, . just exactly where can i find reference table, as to which numbers reference which companies?
Hi Kerry. I keep looking for Grahams near me in Nottingham. I prefer skimmed but I can't find any. It's out of stock everywhere in all its forms. Think it's the campaign and it's being bought up. 😮
Supermarket milk is tasteless , compared to the milk well in Willerby, east Yorkshire, £1.30 a litre , spare bottle caps £1.50 a bag , and you can See the cows , thanks for everything you do lady 🎉
Home Bargains and B&M stock Paynes milk, Langley farm cottage cheese & other products. Not sure about the big tubs of yoghurt in Home Bargains, I did look at the name then promptly forgot, but it's not a big brand.
George at Asda is great value for basic clothing I buy my real food in local shops but get tinned & other things from Asda some products better than others these days I get delivered rather than store as dont like big supermarkets
Hate Asda, always have. Here in Wrexham on my first desperate visit to Asda a man tried to run me down in his car, i was on foot loading my car. Crazy and the music, lighting and ambience dire.
Also found out today, that all Long-Life milk (Under the 'Lakeland' and 'Own-Label') *_long life milk labels_* I was made aware of) can be traced back to an Irish Distributor with the brand-name 'Millac' dairy products, who also make a 'Filled-Milk' (Dried-Milk) product and is pretty-much guaranteed, to have their dairy herds, dosed with 'Bovaer' - If you dig deep enough, it seems they are total and utter disciples of 'Bovaer' and/or, 'similar feed additives! Curiously, they also supply varying labels of 'Organic Milk' and freely advertise those products as containing "The same additives as all their other products!" Also worth adding, the 'Long-Life' (Keeps at least 6 months!) milks, have a very distinct taste, what my wife described as somewhere between a 'Chemical tang' and a freshly painted room. She also noted, there is a definite 'Scum' that comes with the milk, and is more noticeable, the hotter the tea that you make? I refused to touch it but, my Missus (Bless her non-cotton socks) says she can detect "Differing tastes with Bovaer-added milk?" Sadly, our entire stock of 14 x 1 litre cartons, went straight down the waste-water pipe! We also sadly, lost an 11 year-old Nephew to CJD (The Human form of Mad Cow disease) and since then, I trust the Missus' taste-buds far more than any label on Dairy products! 'Bovaer' must, *_just MUST, appear on food labelling!_* T'aint good enough to continue what this delightful lady does on our behalf! Hope you enjoy the coffee, so very well deserved! ❤
The FSA safety assessment concluded there are no safety concerns when Bovaer is used at the approved dose -- what if the wrong dose is used by carelessness or error or any other reason? Who is going to know? and what effect will an overdose have?
How can we be sure as the consumer that the so called organic cows are not using Bovare sounds a bit strange that a farmer would separate his cows that are eating Bovare from the cows that are not
Hi Kerry. I've just received an email from the Colliers manufacturers, which also includes the Minstrel brand, and they are NOT involved in the Bovaer trial. I have forwarded the email to your Gmail account, FYI. Keep up the good work! Xx
My local Asda used to have pleasant staff but they are as miserable as sin now. The shop looked like it had been looted on my morning visit, it was filthy dirty and the fruit and veg was of poor quality. Stopped going there now even though it is my closest shop.
Kerry here I go again, I went into Morrisons in Stamford (an affluent town) the worst shopping experience ever, yes even worse than Asda!,! and it was so depressing and I came out with nothing, I did not spend a single penny, I didn’t find anything that was bovaer free, no cheese, no milk, no yoghurt. I am glad I don’t live in Stamford and glad that I don’t have to shop at Morrisons! My advise to you would be do not waste your time or petrol travelling far just to look at Morrisons, I am sure your viewers who live near or shop at Morrisons can let you know how good or bad it is product wise. Of course it’s up to you👍
All the ones I’ve been to all look the same. Staff have been told they are not allowed to help customers to get any shopping now. Lots of products I used to get are not there anymore. When you order online more often than not they don’t have quite a lot of items. You can only use your rewards when you pay, other stores you have 2 weeks to get points put on if you forget.It’s definitely gone downhill slowly since it’s been taken over. Just placed an order from Tesco’s so we’ll see if it’s any better 🙏
I think Asda was owned by Walmart and was well managed and priced. I stopped using it as it has gone down hill with small ranges and unjustified high prices + bad atmosphere unhelpful staff.
Riddel me this. I nipped into Asda t'other day for the odd and noticed cartons of Organic milk at the wonderfully low price of a pound and extremely long use by date 22nd Jan, not thinking to ask my mind wondered, I mean there they were nothing around them with a one pound sign under them. They weren't singular but in packs. Was it because they had been caught loading Organic with Bovaer after the milking, or was it that the cows were not Organic cows and that the wrong inspector was working that day due to somebody with heart problems and the manager wasn't prepared to throw the lot out. Funny how one has to take the most paranoid line of thinking these days
I looked into it but can't remember where as I'm looking all the time but I read the gov are definitely subsidising farmers to use it at the present time but who knows in the future? @@beverlymaskall3253
Milk that comes from bovaer fed cows isn't being separated but instead is mixed or added to the rest of the milk (organic is kept seperate) so while most milk comes from cows not fed bovaer, the milk that is from bovaer fed cows has been mixed in meaning all non organic milk from arla farms is not bovaer free. Muller processes some of the bovaer milk as well and they admit that some of that milk might end up in muller products. Sorry for the long reply! Hope that makes sense!! (Prices aren't impacted by bovaer I'm guessing as its all mixed in)
@beverlymaskall3253 Hopefully the people behind this don't end up forcing all dairy farms to start using bovaer. These gigantic companies are very good at getting the government to write laws for them.
Do you know if Onken is Arla please? You may have covered this in previous videos, but I don't recall any mention of it. Thank you for the great work on this. Milk is living product and can only be produced from pregnant cows, (obviously) I do feel we should value and appreciate it a lot more and pay more for it. Bottled water by comparison (which is often straight out of a tap somewhere) is more than twice the price.
They're owned by a billion dollar Swiss company called 'Emmi AG' who want to achieved net zero emissions by 2050 so if they're not currently using bovaer I'm pretty sure they will be using it soon. From what I've seen mainly seems to be smaller producers who are taking a stand against bovaer. If a company is making billions and they are from central Europe (where bovaer was invented) I would say probably best to avoid them.
@Budget Cooking UK can you advise if any of Co-op milk & youghurt is bovear free? Thanks for all you do I’m sticking with the Lidl butter & cheese you said is ok buts it’s getting confusing with all these codes we could do with a safe list for each store.
How about doing a video on the farms / dairies that do feed Bovaer to dairy cattle? That way consumers who support GHG reduction can also support businesses who are actually doing something about it.
It's strange, Asda stores are a tad depressing and I believe another poster hit it, it's the lighting. Morrisons are similar. I've had both home delivers and Asda drivers are without exception more cheerful, polite and helpful. Could be they are treated better ? Thank you for your information. It's been very helpful. Buying organic dairy, a bit more but I'm happier.
All Asda shops are horrible, they feel dirty, horrible lighting and look like large tin sheds, i never shop there. Great work you are doing with the Bovaer information, this is a scandal and should not be happening.

Spreadable butter whether boaver free or not is a no no. It contains toxic seed oils.
You can easily make your own spreadable butter at home. I normally just mix olive oil with butter in the microwave. It melts together after a couple of minutes and when it cools down it becomes spreadable butter that you can keep in the fridge.
I must try this 😀👍
I agree Jeannie but fact remains its bovaer free for those that choose (rightly or wrongly) to buy it😀👍💕

GOD BLESS YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's one shop I never visit, my local store is horrible.
I think they're all like that, the asda designers were after the "soulless warehouse look" I think😄
Well done and thanks again for all that you are doing out there. Please keep up the good work, if you can. Take care.
Thank you Kerry, I enjoy your reporting on your shopping trips. There weren't many people in Asda - Perhaps the music puts them off as well! 😂😅
There are no safety concerns for workers handling the additive when used as directed, and appropriate personal protective equipment is used.
The assessment concluded the additive - in its pure form at the manufacturing stage - should be considered corrosive to the eyes, a skin irritant and potentially harmful by inhalation, but is not harmful at the point it is fed to animals.
thank you for opening my eyes, i see easier just exactly what shite ive been buying, . just exactly where can i find reference table, as to which numbers reference which companies?
Email me and I'll attach the dairy codes excel doc to my reply😀👍

Hi Kerry. I keep looking for Grahams near me in Nottingham. I prefer skimmed but I can't find any. It's out of stock everywhere in all its forms. Think it's the campaign and it's being bought up. 😮
Supermarket milk is tasteless , compared to the milk well in Willerby, east Yorkshire, £1.30 a litre , spare bottle caps £1.50 a bag , and you can See the cows , thanks for everything you do lady 🎉
Thank you for covering this.
Home Bargains and B&M stock Paynes milk, Langley farm cottage cheese & other products.
Not sure about the big tubs of yoghurt in Home Bargains, I did look at the name then promptly forgot, but it's not a big brand.
Yes, my local ASDA in Carlisle is miserable. Among other complaints the fruit and veg section is scruffy and tired.
Thank you for all your hard work x appreciate it 🙏 💜
Another great update thank you
George at Asda is great value for basic clothing I buy my real food in local shops but get tinned & other things from Asda some products better than others these days I get delivered rather than store as dont like big supermarkets
Hate Asda, always have. Here in Wrexham on my first desperate visit to Asda a man tried to run me down in his car, i was on foot loading my car. Crazy and the music, lighting and ambience dire.
I live in the middle of London, no farm shops near me. I have made the change to organic for my milk, cheese and butter spread. 😁😁🥰
You're doing a cracking job. Do you have a list of those farms and product numbers. PLz
Keep up the good work Kerry. Great job. Thank you.
Same ,on a budget. Don't want poisoned
Thank you
I always consider Asda to be low quality food, so it really doesn’t surprise me nearly all their stuff is from dodgy dairy’s 😳
We found Graham's Jersey Gold 1litre in Home Bargains £1.09!!
i can't stand ASDA either !!! so depressing . thank you so much , why are farm shops so expensive ... farm to shop so should be cheaper ...
And they are owned by a certain demographic, ( connected to hair products ) if you get my drift.
Thank you 👍✌🏼
Grahams do semi skimmed. I get mine in Sainsburys.
I’ve got a semi
Ah I haven't seen semi skimmed, maybe they're all gone by the time I'm mooching about 😄👍
Rhoddas is fine too ( milk) 👍
So do I. Can’t get Grahams butter there though so I get it at Morrisons. Wish grahams made hard cheese.
Also found out today, that all Long-Life milk (Under the 'Lakeland' and 'Own-Label') *_long life milk labels_* I was made aware of) can be traced back to an Irish Distributor with the brand-name 'Millac' dairy products, who also make a 'Filled-Milk' (Dried-Milk) product and is pretty-much guaranteed, to have their dairy herds, dosed with 'Bovaer' - If you dig deep enough, it seems they are total and utter disciples of 'Bovaer' and/or, 'similar feed additives!
Curiously, they also supply varying labels of 'Organic Milk' and freely advertise those products as containing "The same additives as all their other products!"
Also worth adding, the 'Long-Life' (Keeps at least 6 months!) milks, have a very distinct taste, what my wife described as somewhere between a 'Chemical tang' and a freshly painted room. She also noted, there is a definite 'Scum' that comes with the milk, and is more noticeable, the hotter the tea that you make? I refused to touch it but, my Missus (Bless her non-cotton socks) says she can detect "Differing tastes with Bovaer-added milk?" Sadly, our entire stock of 14 x 1 litre cartons, went straight down the waste-water pipe!
We also sadly, lost an 11 year-old Nephew to CJD (The Human form of Mad Cow disease) and since then, I trust the Missus' taste-buds far more than any label on Dairy products! 'Bovaer' must, *_just MUST, appear on food labelling!_* T'aint good enough to continue what this delightful lady does on our behalf! Hope you enjoy the coffee, so very well deserved! ❤
Thank you for the information. I have my milk delivered from McQueens dairy, along with my yogurt and eggs 😊
The FSA safety assessment concluded there are no safety concerns when Bovaer is used at the approved dose -- what if the wrong dose is used by carelessness or error or any other reason? Who is going to know? and what effect will an overdose have?
Thankyou for the information.
How can we be sure as the consumer that the so called organic cows are not using Bovare sounds a bit strange that a farmer would separate his cows that are eating Bovare from the cows that are not
Another another great video!
I’m looking forward to you doing a video at Tesco.
That's the one I'm waiting for! I dare say they'll be just as onboard with this nonsense as all the other supermarkets!
Doing great work! Your videos are very informative Thankyou for your service
Asda, owned by Islamic brothers. Do they have prayer centre there too?
Is all the meat Halal also?
Tom Parker creamery products are all good
Hi Kerry. I've just received an email from the Colliers manufacturers, which also includes the Minstrel brand, and they are NOT involved in the Bovaer trial. I have forwarded the email to your Gmail account, FYI. Keep up the good work! Xx
Good to know ! Costco sell Minstrel brand in store.
My local Asda used to have pleasant staff but they are as miserable as sin now. The shop looked like it had been looted on my morning visit, it was filthy dirty and the fruit and veg was of poor quality. Stopped going there now even though it is my closest shop.
Kerry here I go again, I went into Morrisons in Stamford (an affluent town) the worst shopping experience ever, yes even worse than Asda!,! and it was so depressing and I came out with nothing, I did not spend a single penny, I didn’t find anything that was bovaer free, no cheese, no milk, no yoghurt. I am glad I don’t live in Stamford and glad that I don’t have to shop at Morrisons! My advise to you would be do not waste your time or petrol travelling far just to look at Morrisons, I am sure your viewers who live near or shop at Morrisons can let you know how good or bad it is product wise. Of course it’s up to you👍
You’re doing a good job, keep it up.
All the ones I’ve been to all look the same. Staff have been told they are not allowed to help customers to get any shopping now. Lots of products I used to get are not there anymore. When you order online more often than not they don’t have quite a lot of items. You can only use your rewards when you pay, other stores you have 2 weeks to get points put on if you forget.It’s definitely gone downhill slowly since it’s been taken over. Just placed an order from Tesco’s so we’ll see if it’s any better 🙏
Asda designers: "let's make all our stores the same: soulless warehouse style would be good" 🤯😂
you are so lovely thanks for all you do x
I live in London so farm shops not an option for me, I’m sticking to organic , my best option
Yes.. They must be all the same.. It's the atmosphere I think.. Depressing.
I think Asda was owned by Walmart and was well managed and priced. I stopped using it as it has gone down hill with small ranges and unjustified high prices + bad atmosphere unhelpful staff.
There are Morrisons locals and daily stores in Colchester.
Are there?!😯 I've just checked and there are 2 Morrison locals lol. They're not in areas I pass so had no idea.
Is there a
Iink to the codes please. I can't find it being technically useless 😂
Riddel me this. I nipped into Asda t'other day for the odd and noticed cartons of Organic milk at the wonderfully low price of a pound and extremely long use by date 22nd Jan, not thinking to ask my mind wondered, I mean there they were nothing around them with a one pound sign under them. They weren't singular but in packs. Was it because they had been caught loading Organic with Bovaer after the milking, or was it that the cows were not Organic cows and that the wrong inspector was working that day due to somebody with heart problems and the manager wasn't prepared to throw the lot out. Funny how one has to take the most paranoid line of thinking these days
Hi Kerry
Do you think it's cheaper for the supermarket to purchase from the bovaer farms? So they can make full profit from the consumer.
Bovaer is very expensive (£2000 a tonne?) so most likely we will pay more for it, especially when the trial ends.
I looked into it but can't remember where as I'm looking all the time but I read the gov are definitely subsidising farmers to use it at the present time but who knows in the future? @@beverlymaskall3253
Milk that comes from bovaer fed cows isn't being separated but instead is mixed or added to the rest of the milk (organic is kept seperate) so while most milk comes from cows not fed bovaer, the milk that is from bovaer fed cows has been mixed in meaning all non organic milk from arla farms is not bovaer free. Muller processes some of the bovaer milk as well and they admit that some of that milk might end up in muller products.
Sorry for the long reply! Hope that makes sense!! (Prices aren't impacted by bovaer I'm guessing as its all mixed in)
@@budgetcookinguk thanks
@beverlymaskall3253 Hopefully the people behind this don't end up forcing all dairy farms to start using bovaer. These gigantic companies are very good at getting the government to write laws for them.
Tesco wouldnt reply to my questions about this product
Hi Kerry, my wee corner shop sells Mills milk, they've farms here in Scotland, boevar free and no additives😊
I'm in Scotland too and the wee shop in my village has Mills so I very happy to shop there.
Do you know if Onken is Arla please? You may have covered this in previous videos, but I don't recall any mention of it. Thank you for the great work on this. Milk is living product and can only be produced from pregnant cows, (obviously) I do feel we should value and appreciate it a lot more and pay more for it. Bottled water by comparison (which is often straight out of a tap somewhere) is more than twice the price.
They're owned by a billion dollar Swiss company called 'Emmi AG' who want to achieved net zero emissions by 2050 so if they're not currently using bovaer I'm pretty sure they will be using it soon. From what I've seen mainly seems to be smaller producers who are taking a stand against bovaer. If a company is making billions and they are from central Europe (where bovaer was invented) I would say probably best to avoid them.
Hi. Is bovaer in Kerrygold butter? Thank you for your work.
Can or have you done tesco at any point as that is mainly where I shop...
anasfoodandlifestyle has a petition to get proper labelling on bovaer products
Did you know that there is a company that has the name Organic? A handy way of putting Oranic on every label whether the contents are orgganic or not.
@Budget Cooking UK can you advise if any of Co-op milk & youghurt is bovear free? Thanks for all you do I’m sticking with the Lidl butter & cheese you said is ok buts it’s getting confusing with all these codes we could do with a safe list for each store.
How about doing a video on the farms / dairies that do feed Bovaer to dairy cattle? That way consumers who support GHG reduction can also support businesses who are actually doing something about it.
It's strange, Asda stores are a tad depressing and I believe another poster hit it, it's the lighting. Morrisons are similar.
I've had both home delivers and Asda drivers are without exception more cheerful, polite and helpful. Could be they are treated better ?
Thank you for your information. It's been very helpful. Buying organic dairy, a bit more but I'm happier.
