NFU Deputy President Stuart Roberts said:
鈥淚t鈥檚 fantastic to see Asda鈥檚 new owners already making such strong commitments when it comes to championing British produce.
鈥淭he commitment to 100% British beef and increasing its proportion of UK suppliers across a range of products demonstrates recognition of the values at the heart of British food production 鈥 quality, traceability and sustainability.
鈥淭his is a very exciting time for Asda and I look forward to continuing our work with the Asda team into the future.鈥
