`Fish from Aberdeen that's sold in Scottish supermarkets could first travel to Cornwall to be smoked, as part of a 700 mile journey.'

`Cherry tomatoes could travel nearly 2000 miles, starting in Southern Spain and taking in North Yorkshire and Scotland, before finally arriving at your local shop.'

`Beef Cattle reared in Wales could travel nearly 500 miles to be slaughtered, processed and packaged, before reaching the shelves of a South Wales supermarket.’

Direct from Dorset products are all made in Dorset using mainly local ingredients
