#NZ Australian food investigation sparks concerns for Kiwi Kiwi consumer advocates say there is cause for concern in New Zealand following a major media investigation in Australia into food supply. The investigation, by the ABC's Four Corners programme, found only a fraction of imported food was inspected, with testing for contaminating also on the decline. Over eight months, hundreds of products across multiple brands were tested, finding evidence of contamination and casting doubt on where some of these products come from. "We do share a lot of the same products as Australia," said Consumer NZ researcher Belinda Castles. https://www.1news.co.nz/2026/08/01/australian-food-investigation-sparks-concerns-for-kiwi-consumers/
