That was more to do with them changing suppliers. They used to use Highland Spring which is decent water to the utter rubbish in Staffordshire which is usually used in the likes of ASDA Smart Price.

Probably just a better pack vs a worse one, always some variance with meat and fish. Very unlikely this many ranges have actually changed (packaging aside) at once.Martin Phillp wrote: ↑Fri 26 May, 2023 23.25 I noticed on Thursday that the J James cooked meat was now Stamford Street.
