There are really exciting times ahead now your local Somerfield store is part of The Co-operative. You'll start to notice little changes happening in your store, like exciting new Co-operative products arriving for you to enjoy. Lots of things will stay the same - we'll be as local as we were before, have the same friendly faces greeting you and be as great on everyday value.

Our values make us different. We carried out the World's largest customer poll, which helped us to develop our Food Ethical policy and achieve:

• Converting all our own brand tea and coffee to Fairtrade.

• Only selling British, free-range eggs.

• Powering all our stores by green energy, a first for any retailer.

• Developing tasty new recipes whilst radically cutting back on salt and saturated fat.

• Being part of the community, with more shops across the UK than any other retailer.

• Ensuring none of our own brand products are tested on animals, making us the first food retailer to receive the British Union Against Vivisection accreditation
