German supermarket’s Irish products up for awards

SEVENTEEN Irish-made products sold by German discount supermarket group Aldi have been nominated at one of the premier national food awards.

A range of Aldi products including fresh meat, yoghurt, cakes and fruit juices have been short-listed for the annual Blas na hÉireann National Irish Food Awards which take place in Dingle, Co Kerry next month.

“Being short-listed is a testament to the high standards and dedication to the excellence of our many Irish suppliers and producers,” said an Aldi spokesperson.
