What's driving the attention

There is consumer concern over the origin of tomatoes in Leggo's products after tests revealed many tomato-based products labeled as Australian or Italian may actually source.

Recent investigations into over 200 tomato products, including those by Leggo's, revealed that many are sourced from China despite labels suggesting Australian or Italian origins. This has raised deep concerns among Australian consumers and retailers like Coles and Aldi have publicly rejected allegations of sourcing from China. The revelations have sparked discussions about transparency and food labeling accuracy, making shoppers cautious about their purchases of tomato-based products.
