Beware of "Britain's Wal-Mart"


Tesco is known as "The Wal-Mart of Britain," and they have a record of breaking food safety laws abroad. Now they're opening markets in the United States under the name Fresh & Easy.

We think it's important that you know about Tesco's record before you decide to shop at a Fresh & Easy market. That's why we've launched a new website: Fresh Easy Facts.

At "Fresh & Easy Facts" you can get the facts on:

* Tesco's record of breaking food safety laws

* The latest food safety tips from our experts

* Important Information on Fresh & Easy that you can share with your family and friends

Activists are very concerned that Tesco's Fresh & Easy may lower the high standards of the U.S. grocery industry, something that our grocery workers have worked very hard to establish.

Please join me in signing the pledge to not shop at Fresh & Easy. With your support, we'll send a clear message to Tesco that in the United States we expect nothing but the highest possible standards.
