Improve fresh food or lose out, retailers told
Yesterday, 10 supermarkets and stores across Ireland were given industry accolades for the quality of their fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, bread and hot food.
One of the competition judges, Donald Helme, of advertising company GreyHelme, said: “Good progress is being made but any retailer who isn’t working hard on fresh foods had better do so — and soon. The standard of competition is rising, real innovation is happening and now the thinking must be: ‘Look at how I can improve or I’ll be left behind’.”
