Aldi signs £320m wagyu deal with Yorkshire supplier

Yorkshire-based Warrendale Wagyu has secured a £320 million, five-year contract with Aldi, making the supermarket the UK’s largest retailer of British wagyu steaks. Once the nationwide rollout is complete later this year, Aldi will sell 2.5 million wagyu steaks annually.

Warrendale Wagyu, a family-owned business, has been supplying Aldi since 2020. The partnership provides long-term financial stability for the company and its network of 800 British farmers. The business uses Fullblood Wagyu genetics crossed with dairy breeds in a grass-based system, offering a sustainable solution for surplus dairy calves.

Aldi now has the UK’s most extensive range of British wagyu products, including award-winning steaks and burgers. Warrendale Wagyu was recognised in 2024 with a King’s Award for Innovation for supporting British dairy and beef farmers.
