Chinese Produce at New World and Pak n Save
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.

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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
