Rush to get home-grown pork back on shop shelves

IRISH pork finally made a welcome, if somewhat limited return, to supermarket shelves yesterday following the resumption of processing across the country.

SuperValu began restocking shelves yesterday and confirmed the range of Irish products back in its stores would increase significantly over the weekend.

“By Friday, up to 30% of bacon sold in stores will be Irish sourced, with the balance being made up of products from Denmark, Holland and France. It is expected that the range of Irish products will increase significantly over the weekend,” a statement read.
