Title: Baked beans
Post by: waterbuffalofarmer on August 11, 2016, 02:29:03 pm

I always wondered about the process and now I know. What would happen though if the steel works in port talbot closes down, seeing as they provide the steel for heinz beans cans?

They would probably get cheap steel from China :-(

Indeed they probably would. Thing is atm they use recycled metal and Iron ore which I supposed the recycled part is sustainable, not sure about Iron ore though, but it can't be helped I suppose. How did anyone find the programme then?
