Sentence 3 · ABC Four Corners · 27 July 2026

“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 this claims, in our words · ES

En todos esos productos el tomate resultó ser chino pese a la etiqueta "cultivado en Australia".

What the other side says

«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.»

Leggo's spokesperson, 8 August 2026. EDITOR'S NOTE: the ABC points out the company has run no forensic testing of its own; it relies on traceability paperwork.
