Investing.com -- Tesco (OTC:TSCDY), the largest supermarket chain in Britain, has confirmed that it will continue sourcing beef exclusively from Ireland and Britain, despite the recent U.S.-UK trade agreement.

The supermarket group’s CEO, Ken Murphy, told Reuters on the sidelines of the World Retail Congress, "We source 100% Irish and British beef in Tesco and for the foreseeable future that policy will be the same, we’re not planning to change it."

This decision indicates that Tesco will continue to prioritize local produce, despite the potential availability of American beef following the new trade agreement.
