Over recent months I have taken notice of the canned fruit available on our shop shelves.
As you know, China has been putting bans on our Australian products such as wine, grain and beef and other goods.
Why is it then every time I do my shopping, lots of products are being imported and sold to us?
In the past, SPC screamed out for help from the public and Governments for assistance. I have heard SPC is labelling their canned fruit with Asian labels and exporting overseas while cheaper canned SPC fruit cannot be found on our shelves anymore.
At the present time canned fruit is sold by Aldi, Woolies and Coles, imported from South Africa, while today I went to IGA and to my surprise, canned peaches are from – wait for it – China.
Why is our government allowing this to go on and selling Australia down the drain? Something needs to be done on this matter urgently, not swept under the carpet.
