Question

When did the UPC meat shops dissappear and why?

Answer 1

Showing my ignorance, perhaps.....but the only food-related business I can think of with those letters in was UCP - United Cattle Products, who used to make tripe in the Manchester area until (at least) the 1970s!

That's not very vegan, though....

Answer 2

Never heard of them.
