    On one hand, the red tractor is used on meat, fresh fruits and veg, and dairy. If all the products were red tractor then the answer would be 12.

    However, some people have answered 9. I've had a quick google of "red tractor" followed by each food on the video and results come up for all but mango, pineapple and lemon, which would make the answer 9.

    The general consensus seems to be 12 but I don't know if they are correct!
  • hmm, lots of people saying 12 but since when were pineapples grown by British Farmers lol?


    I thought the Red Tractor mark only applied to meat and dairy, not vegetables. If that is the case then the answer is 3.


    What do others think?

    Just entered the daily Red Tractor comp and the blurb at the end says:
    In the UK we’re lucky as our seasons are long and we have lots of delicious food produced all year round. But Autumn always stands out for us foodies as a favourite because the variation of food available is so wide. We have everything from Apples to Lamb and from Artichokes to Strawberries, all in the shops. That’s why this autumn we’ll be celebrating Great British Food, all grown to Red Tractor standards – naturally!

    So, it definitley includes fruit & veg
  • It is definitely on vegetables. There's a picture of carrots on their website with the logo

    Also from http://www.redtractor.org.uk/what-we-do/what-does-the-logo-stand-for
    When it comes to your fruit and vegetables, our standards ensure that water used for irrigation and washing is clean and that workers follow the best standards of hygiene, even when working in the fields.

    I reckon it's definitely 9 - pineapple, lemon and mango can be grown in Britain but are not farmed here.
