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.

Some Choice News!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
