Several people have rightly pointed out that I was wrong to refer to a 'Jewish' company in my last posting. My sincere apologies - no offence was meant (and incidentally I am well aware of Jewish imigration in the UK, my family amongst them). I could have said Polish (and still got emails). I should have said American.
What I meant was this is not an Irish, Scottish or English firm or product but an American company trading, I think misleadingly, on a quintessentially English name and implying its products are from the Bristish Isles. If I started to sell steaks here as 'Real Texan' Americans would find it equally suspect.
I also get fed up with some North Americans assuming that something that says 'Irish' must a) be gluten-free and b) come from a land of potatoes and donkeys, in itself an erroneous and out-of dated stereotype. These same people then eat a product that may more unsafe than other more genuine ones (and at least our oats won't be genetically modified!).
The important thing is that companies that won't give proper details verifying the claims of their products should be avoided.
