<p>Although all of our products are fully traceable to source, the House Service does
not record or hold the information in respect of sourcing from one particular country
or region. This information is held by the relevant suppliers. Whilst suppliers are
able to provide full traceability on any given product, for logistical reasons they
would not be able to provide information to the level of detail requested because
where our products are sourced may change from time to time.</p><p>The vast majority
of fresh products, such as meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, bread, ice cream, and most
fruit and vegetables when in season are sourced from within the UK. This is possible
because, in the first instance, we demand that UK or equivalent standards of welfare
and production must be met as this is a consideration of ethics and quality rather
than origin.</p><p>The House Service sources products that are produced to higher
environmental standards where possible.</p>
