Supermarket chain Morrisons has announced a move to stock only 100 per cent British fresh beef.
The Bradford-based store already buys only British fresh pork, lamb and poultry.
The move was welcomed by the National Farmers Union.
"This is really good news. The fact that one of Britain's leading supermarkets is moving to 100 per cent British fresh beef will be tremendously encouraging to livestock farmers," said NFU president Peter Kendall.
Morrisons corporate affairs director Chris Blundell said: "We already sell only 100 per cent British fresh pork, lamb and poultry and this move to 100 per cent British fresh beef is part of our commitment to offering fresh, British-sourced food wherever we can
and supporting British farming."
