Aldi Scotland has strengthened its commitment to Scottish pork by doubling its primary pork range with high-quality, locally sourced produce.
In partnership with pork supplier Browns Food Group, and with support from Quality Meat Scotland (QMS), eight new pork lines will be available in all of Aldi’s Scottish stores from this week.
The supermarket’s commitment to Scottish sourcing was once again recognised by NFU Scotland’s latest Shelfwatch report, which ranked Aldi Scotland #1 for the second consecutive quarter for stocking the highest percentage of Scottish products (45%) in its stores. Aldi says it is also the only supermarket in Scotland to offer 100% fresh Scottish pork across all its locations.
The new pork range includes a variety of products such as Pork Meatballs, Pork Belly Slices, Basted Pork Loin Steaks, Pork Mince, and Pork Shoulder Steaks, with prices starting from £1.89.
Graham Nicolson, group buying director at Aldi Scotland, said: “We’re dedicated to bringing our customers the finest Specially Selected Pork at affordable prices. Thanks to our strong partnerships with farmers and producers across the country, shoppers can now enjoy even more mouth-watering pork options in all 106 of our stores.”
QMS chief executive Sarah Millar added: “It’s fantastic to have one of our top supermarkets make significant further investment into its offering of pork products which are born, reared and processed in Scotland.
“We’ve no doubt the extended range in Aldi will be a success and we have a suite of delicious recipes available on our website, from pork pad Thai to pork and apple burgers to inspire consumers to cook with Specially Selected Pork.”
