It is widely believed that 50% of food is imported into the UK. In reality, 80% of food is imported into the UK. The lower number defines food processed in the UK as UK food, even though the ingredients may have been imported. For example, tea is processed in the UK, but we grow no tea — it is all imported. When ingredients are counted as imported, the real figure is over 80%.
