Co-op has banned its stores from selling Israeli produce as it begins a boycott of the country to 'support peace'.
The supermarket said that items including carrots will be scrapped from their shelves this month as part of a push to 'stop sourcing relationships with countries where there are internationally recognised community-wide human rights abuses and violations of international law'.
They will also stop selling own-brand products that contain Israeli ingredients in a phased approach, starting from June 2025, in a move pro-Israeli activists have branded 'shameful'.
Israel is placed alongside 17 countries the store has acted against - including Russia, North Korea, Syria, Somalia and Iran.
The Co-op already did not source produce from Israeli settlements in Gaza and the West Bank.
