This special is in the weekly catalogue, but I couldn't find reference to it anywhere. I may not have searched properly (wouldn't be the first time).

Best price I've ever seen…

Better than
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/185012
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/198543

Cheapest I have seen frozen fruit at Coles/Woolies. Usually go with Coles who offer 3 x 500g bags for $10, which equates to $6.66/kg

Yes, Nanna's is owned by Patties Foods who had the contamination scares earlier in the year. I figure lightning doesn't strike the same spot twice, right?

I am a daily smoothie fiend so I'll be loading up at this price.

Love, Tafe

        No reason at all to buy China berries.
        As mentoined above we grow our own high quality fruits that other countries import and we import low quality, shit soaked, berries in return!

        Many supermarkets stock local berries now because of the outbreak.
        but I assume Nanna's are hoping people forgot the outbreak with the incentive of a discount.

          Ok, must have changed labeling. Last I saw they just said Imported Ingredients

          The Coles deal 3/$10 is better, and they don't have mutant Strawberries in the mix blend.

    For those of you worried about Hep A. if you frequently buy berries it is cheaper to get the vaccine and buy these berries.

    • Meconium on 22/10/2015 - 20:58
      +4

      Vaccines aren't foolproof. Some people who get the Hep A/B vaccine will still contract Hep A or B with sufficient exposure.

      • gimli on 22/10/2015 - 22:49
        +1

        it generally has more to do with vaccine response rather than exposure.

        Hep A you need booster every 5 years.

        Hep B you can have you levels checked.

        Also the only vaccine spread via berries is Hep A, which is spread faecal-orally.

        Unless you are injecting berry juice or something you are unlikely to get Hep B/C.

        • ultraviolet on 23/10/2015 - 07:30

          Hep A Berries incident meant that whoever in China picked them after toilet without washing their hands. Or they put their berries in mouth and spit into the collection baskets again. Still no good if no more hep A incidents in the future.

        • BlueMM on 23/10/2015 - 08:40
          +2

          @ultraviolet: The reports seemed to indicate that it was more likely the poor quality of the water used in production (washing the berries etc.), where contamination in the water supply could of been from sewage leaks, spills etc.

    • ihavok on 23/10/2015 - 00:11

  • [Deactivated] on 22/10/2015 - 22:55

    Eat quality not quantity, people. The price difference isn't that much if you think about it. For example, this week strawberry at Aldi is $1.49/punnet of 250gr, so it's $6/kilo. Same with blueberry, it's only $2.49/punnet. Clean, bag it and chuck it to the freezer. I still have couple bags left on my freezer from the previous special from Aldi, 50cents/punnet, bought 2 trays. Plus if you buying for your children, only the freshest fruits on season that you should get.

    I was at my local Coles the other day and saw that Coles branded berries now occupy pretty much the whole freezer space.

    Nannas and Creative Gourmet only had a tiny amount and for lines which Coles didn't stock like cherries, avocado etc.

    That scandal really did accelerate their private label dominance.

    Also agree on freezing local strawberries, but these are the only cost effective berries to do so. I'm not freezing my blueberries!

  • redcreek200 on 23/10/2015 - 09:30

    My friend got extremely sick from eating Woolies frozen berries just a few weeks ago. Had to go to hospital. Forget the brand but they were made in China.

    I would never, never eat frozen berries sourced from China.

      A problem with food poisoning is that you usually cannot know what caused it. It could be something you ate a week ago, Or a virus from a door knob.
      Your friend blamed the berries because of the publicity, Just don't eat raw food from China. The Chinese themselves cook or peel everything, including the tap water. There is no word in Mandarin for salad.

      • redcreek200 on 23/10/2015 - 17:06

        No he didn't blame the berries because of the publicity. Otherwise he wouldn't have bought and eaten them !!

        The only change in his diet were these frozen berries that were eaten a day or so before. It was the berries but you can choose to not think so. I know he's not buying them again. He is elderly and almost died from the experience.

It's my fathers loveless stare and his monotone voice with the occasional raised and lowered intonation as he expresses his disappointment that brings me, a man approaching my 30s sleepless nights nowadays.

    Costco has frozen blueberries for $6.50/kg every day. Late last year they were sourced from Chile, then supply moved to USA (these were juicy and very flavoursome), now the origin is not listed on the packet. I really hate that. 'Packed in Australia' means absolutely nothing when 100% of the product comes from another country.

    I have been buying and eating frozen berries raw every day since 2008. Personally I have yet to encounter any food borne illness due to the berries.

  • Charity on 23/10/2015 - 14:35

    Also I noticed Coles has brought them back after about a 6mth hiatus - does this infer that they really did have a Hepatitis problem (but not so widely reported as Nannas)?
