Re: FW: TESCO labelling of organic apple juice product

[Guest guest]

Ask Tesco. Is the stuff certified ie does it have a Soil Association

mark? If so, you could ask them. Get in touch with Trading Standards and

complain. There is some get out clause on the lines of an organic

product can have 0.9% non-organic because there is concern that the

non-organic will be GM. If it is flavourings then that would be the

0.9%. I think you should complain to Tesco and write a letter to the

press and embarrass them

Also, any juice from concentrate has had all the goodness knocked out of

it. Effectively its pasteurized. Whether it once was organic hardly matters

Well, that's not the way I saw it! I wasn't buying it for Tom. I knew it

wasn't as good as non-concentrate but I still thought I was avoiding

actually purposefully added chemicals, in amounts large enough that they

have to declare it on the packaging. I feel that I have been duped.

Sorry Sara I'm not trying to say Tesco were right. Complain to them. The

0.9% thing is hardly known and quite controversial

Oh

blimey Sally, I can see now it looks like I was shouting at you

.. I need a tone of voice or facial expression or something to show I was

complaining to you not at you.  It did

really really annoy and depress me, an unreasonable

amount. It’s UK15 or something which is the lowest organic standard, I looked

it up. It still shouldn’t excuse them though. I don’t see how this

is different to buying sunny delight or one of those little purple bottles or

something. I would never buy that stuff so I’m really annoyed that they

conned my money out of me. I emailed trading standards and the message came

back as undeliverable. I’ll try something else. Anyway, don’t buy

it people. I’m never going to shop in Tesco’s

again.

I've got this thing about concentrate because you can see a posh looking

bottle with pictures of trees, flowers and beautiful people all over it,

a price three times the pretentionless Tetrabricks -- and when you look

at the ingredients list -- it's all every single bit made from

concentrate just like the Tetrabricks. Copella Apple Juice passes that

test but it's flash pasteurized.

Maybe we just have to think of commercial organisations as the enemy --

trying to cut corners and diddle us. I suppose that is what they are

there for
