Potentially harmful dog feeding
In
December 2012 a television advertising campaign which showed a child
giving a dog pieces of Christmas pudding was criticised by the British
Veterinary Association and the Kennel Club. Christmas pudding contains
ingredients which can be harmful to dogs which led to concern that the
behaviour in the clip could be copied with detrimental consequences for
animals. A spokesman for Morrisons stated that it had sought veterinary
advice before the shoot, at which a vet was present. Advice given was
that "...there would be minimal, if any, risk to a dog of serious toxic
reaction should a small amount, in relation to its body weight, of
Christmas cake or pudding be consumed on a one-off basis.”

Inaccurate claim of support for British farmers
Following
a well publicised crash in UK milk prices Morrison's launched UK flag
branded milk labelled 'For Farmers’ promising an extra £0.23 per carton.
In fact the money went to a Scandinavian co-op group and only one
quarter of money went to UK farmers.
