freitasm: I dislike the fact you buy Waite's peaches with the impression you will get some nice Hawkes Bay fruits buy it is actually made in China. Or a smoked salmon brand with a NZ reference in the name that actually comes from the Philippines.

And so on. If possible I try not to buy anything made in China.

I'm pretty sure the ones from Hawke's Bay say so on the label.

And the ones from China say so as well. In small letters.

I'll have to do some inspection next time I'm at the supermarket.

If that is the salmon product I am thinking of it is usually NZ Salmon processed in the Philippines and sent back.

I checked today. All the Watties canned fruit with Hawkes Bay on the label also have badges saying fruit grown in NZ.
