What the other side says
«Coles has also been made aware that the origins of inputs such as fertiliser and pesticides can affect the trace element and stable isotope testing. For example if growers use urea as a fertiliser, this is a globally traded commodity which could originate from China and thus affect the isotope profile of the tomatoes.» «We strongly reject any suggestion that Coles knowingly misled customers, engaged in food fraud or profited from food fraud.»
Coles spokesperson, 8 August 2026.
