Leggo's, Coles and Aldi selling Chinese tomatoes as 'Australian' and 'Italian' in products, forensic testing finds

What the outlet published · Sentence 3

All of these Leggo's products' tomatoes were found to be from China, despite labels saying "Australian grown".

What the documents say

«Our records confirm the tomatoes used in all our products labelled 'Australian-grown' are grown right here in Australia.» «We have verified this by tracing the relevant products to their date of manufacture, the individual tomato paste inputs used in production, the supplier's verified records of those inputs, and down to the very paddock locations where the tomatoes were grown.» — Portavoz de Leggo's, 8 de agosto de 2026. NOTA DEL EDITOR: la ABC señala que la empresa no ha hecho análisis forenses propios; se apoya en documentación de trazabilidad.
