| 538250 | 2007-04-04 09:41:00 | Hi Guys I heard on the radio the other day that Kiwi Bacon (the brand) is now using some overseas pork products in their products. Would you buy Kiwi Bacon bacon now you know this ? Regards Digby |

| 538252 | 2007-04-04 10:37:00 | Would you buy your clothes from China? oranges from USA? canned peaches from Argentina? And what makes you think they have just started to use imported product? | wotz (335) | ||
| 538253 | 2007-04-04 10:45:00 | And Kiwi Shoe Polish from France? | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 538254 | 2007-04-04 12:04:00 | I just did today. Walk round the supermarket and read labels. A lot doesn't say anything at all about overseas anything and most else is from overseas. Very hard to find an actual made in NZ with NZ ingredients item. |

| 538255 | 2007-04-04 13:25:00 | I don't have a problem with stuff sourced from overseas... Greg = Made in New Zealand; components sourced overseas... Born in NZ, Mother from Zambia, Father from Belorussia. :thumbs: | Greg (193) | ||
| 538256 | 2007-04-04 20:55:00 | OK, so you all don't really care about bacon, or other things and of course many things we just cannot make in New Zealand. But here is my follow-up question Would you buy Chicken pieces if they were imported from say China ? Regards Digby |

| 538257 | 2007-04-04 21:06:00 | As there is a major pet food recall in the US at the moment because of poisoned wheat product from China and many of the brands are imported to NZ Euk, Iams, Nutro, Science Diet etc. No I don't buy any food products from China including peanut butter nor pet food from the US or Indonesia (Whiskas pouches) for that matter. I'll stick to NZ products thanks even if they are more expensive. By the way over 3000 dead dogs and cats in the US reported so far www.petconnection.com |

| 538258 | 2007-04-04 21:22:00 | I think the name Kiwi Bacon implies that it is a whole NZ made product where by Kiwi polish was a brand name and not invented or made here originally.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 538259 | 2007-04-04 23:16:00 | afaik most of pork we buy comes from canada or aussie. its annoying that there is no orgin of product labling. NZ seriously needs it. if aussie can do it so can we ! its not an uncomman dirty trick to water down locally made products with cheap imports :( |
