Are you really buying "Australian"?
Did you know ‘Made in Australia’ does not always mean ‘Grown in Australia’…
Don’t be fooled by the familiar green and gold kangaroo. Take a few seconds to look at the percentage of actual Australian ingredients.
For example, bacon made from 21% Australian ingredients is NOT going to be made from Australian pork.
Some of our big supermarkets only have a very limited selection of Australian grown bacon (found in the pre-packed smallgoods fridge).
Some of our big supermarkets don’t even sell Australian grown bacon or ham. This is not just about supporting Aussie farmers – we have very strict regulations about the welfare of our animals here in Australia – we cannot control the living conditions of imported meat products.
So, please check your labels and make sure to ask for true Aussie pork!
