Now as part of The Co-operative, Somerfield is part of the Food Ethical Policy.

For more than 15 years The Co-operative Group has been at the forefront of Responsible Retailing Issues.

In 2008 we conducted the world's largest consumer poll on Food Ethics. 100,000 of our members gave us their backing and we launched our Food Ethical Policy.
