These two statements then contradict each other a bit then.
When the Co-op switched they specifically said it was to support British farmers, there is nothing to say it was down to any quality concerns

Jo Whitfield, Co-op retail chief executive, said: “British consumers will be shocked to see how meat imports have grown while at the same time retailers hang out the bunting and claim to back British farmers.
"Only the Co-op offers 100% British fresh meat all year round and not just in the meat cabinet but also in our sandwiches, our pies and our ready meals.

However, some individual retailers appear to have more work to do, with Asda showing a fall from 44% to 36% for its bacon, while the percentage of British ham it sold fell from 40% to 26%. Iceland’s British bacon facings fell from 11% of its offering in March 2021 to zero in March 2022, while Lidl also saw a big drop in British bacon availability, from 47% to 29%.
