Fair Go was funny last night. They had a story about Crocs, those holey as Swiss-cheese plastic clogs, melting in the sun and shrinking. (Apparently they're liable to do that in "extreme conditions".) And they also had a story about McCains frozen French fries. Someone bought a bag of them from a supermarket in Rotorua and it turned out to have a manky old cleaning cloth inside. Now Fair Go made a big fuss about the fact that noone from the company told Food Safety NZ and they didn't front up to the show either, but what caught my attention was the fact that these French fries are shipped to New Zealand from a factory in Ballarat, Australia.
Huh?
We don't grow our own frozen chips? We import them from Australia? Madness.

and tinned apples are coming from China!!! I was horrified to see Pams apples (and peaches) are imported from China, I just assumed we would be able to have locally grown apples in our tins!!!
