Chinese Produce at New World and Pak n Save

Andrea from Edgeware

Just a reminder to shoppers that Foodstuffs has dropped Sealord as its main supplier of fish products, opting instead to purchase primarily from overseas, like China. Products will likely be manufactured here. The sane us with Birdseye and other common brands that were once grown here but now purchase from China.
Pre-peeled garlic exported from China such as New World's garlic, is commonly produced from forced labour.
I could give numerous links here is one ( www.ft.com... ).
Ideally we need to purchase locally made food products. There is a high risk that foods grown in countries that dont regulate how its grown or what procedures are taken to keep it looking fresh etc, will be cheaper, but have considerable health risks.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
