> It turns out that nearly every tomato paste in Australia comes from Xinjiang in China
I think that might be a bit of a strong assertion, from your article there -
"It analysed 221 processed tomato products from 39 brands, including paste, passata and diced tomato.
Twenty-two per cent of the products failed country-of-origin testing, while a further 6 per cent were flagged for further testing."
So while 28 percent is scandalous, and those companies need to face consequences, the other 72 percent seem to be genuine.
