Product of China.
What would you expect when kids at pre-school are served food containing lead paint, baby formula has melamine and cooking oil is transported in tankers with toxic chemicals and industrial waste?
Agreed. I even stay away from my local succulent chinese takeaway now.
Any China made food products go straight to bin in our household. It's really sad to see many kids lollies being manufactured in China now. I'm not sure if any government agency/regulatory authority is doing any food testing on these.
@dealhunter52: Can you throw away whatever device you're typing on, too? Its definitely leeching toxins into your fingers as you type. Or maybe it's too late and its already gone up to your head.
@dealhunter52: You better don't use any Chinese product .they are all made of posion in your mind and dirty as your mind. Suck a looser As your name.
@stone8552: Lol…Burnt. Are you an importer?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal@ATangk: I will pick Australian produce over Chinese produce any day of the week, even if I have to pay double. I don't compromise with my food quality and health, neither should you.
Wisemen rightly said, 'Health is wealth'.
@dealhunter52: What about so healthy sounding names as Paraquat, Atrazine, Fipronil…? They are banned in China, US, and Europe for health and environment concerns. But Australian farmers enjoy the luxury of killing insects, and, potentially, customers.
@Ozzster: Interestingly, lead paint in pre-school food, melamine in baby formula and oil being transported in tankers with toxic chemicals has nothing to do with farming or agriculture. If the corners being cut for baby food, I wouldn't want to know what corners are being cut or regulations being flogged when it comes to farming. China state owned company ChinaChem is after all biggest producer/exporter of Paraquat, Atrazine, Fipronil etc.
@dealhunter52: Baby and school food are rare particular cases, you must be really unlucky to to end up in a billion populated country in that particular hundred of people affected by it. While toxic chemicals are used in Australian farming always and everywhere, and you would really need to look for proper imported organic food to avoid that.
And Australia is the biggest producer and exporter or coal, so what? Everyone is happy to produce and sell poison for someone else. But no one makes decision to eat that poison instead of using in paint, other than your own government and each consumer.@Ozzster: Rare cases?
Cooking oil has been transported in tankers with toxic industrial waste since at least 2005, with repeated reports of similar practices in the years following, including in 2015 and most recent controversy in July 2024. This issue is not new and continues despite past media attention and govt assurances.
You and your family can eat whatever you want and I can't stop you, but I will warn others.
@dealhunter52: When you bring two occasions of the kid's food yes, these are 2 particular cases. And you cannot bring the case with oil because it is as relevant as cooking and transporting relevant to each other. Oil thing is more common, but it is a well-known, there are known countermeasures, and you have really low chances to get poisoned by that oil after all. You are not warning anyone by repeating well-known things.
But you are hypocritical if you don't do the same against issues with australian-made food, which are ignored by Australian authorities. And suddenly, so beloved by Australian farmers Paraquat, is proven to cause Parkinson's disease, which has been actively growing in the last years in Australia (what a coincidence?) and expected to grow by 79% in the next 10 years. And this is not rare, those hundreds per billion in China are not as big as hundreds of thousands out of millions in Australia. Don't be hypocrite, this is here, now, and it is much worse than something once in a billion somewhere.
@Ozzster: Let's fact check you.
In 2021, China had an age-standardised prevalence (ASPR) of 245.7 per 100,000 people, which was the highest among the G20 countries and way higher than in Australia. I wonder why?
As mentioned earlier, China state owned company ChinaChem is the biggest producer/exporter of Paraquat, Atrazine, Fipronil etc. If you think Chinese farmers abide by government regulations, I have bridge to nowhere to sell to you. You can parrot CCP propaganda as much as you like but you can't ignore facts.
@dealhunter52: Why do you care about China while your own farmers feed you with toxic food that you are happy with?
@Ozzster: Because their toxic food products are filling our supermarkets. What wrong with you? Change your name to CCP puppet or something, you're no Ozzster.
@dealhunter52: So what about locally-produced food, isn't it in the supermarkets as well? Or getting Parkinson's is not OKay only if you got it from non-australian food?
@Ozzster: If you want change, petition your local government rather than promoting toxic goods from other countries with dubious distinction of enforcing food standards.
@dealhunter52: I am not asking what I should do, I am asking why do you ignore things obviously much more relevant to everyone here.
@Ozzster: Well…again, how does promoting toxic goods from other countries with dubious distinction of enforcing food standards help change Australian regulations.
I'm not ignoring anything, I would work rather work to improve regulations here and bring about change to make my country better.
@dealhunter52: As long as local food is potentially even more toxic the imported food is the only way to get safe food. Promotions are about marketing, safety should come first anyway. In this particular case I am not so confident that local veggies are safer than these seeds from China. Rather opposite, IMHO.
@Ozzster: Again….fact is per capita more Chinese suffer from Parkinson's disease than Australians.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/parkinsons-disease-preval…
Do you have any proof when you claim Australian veggies are more toxic than Chinese seeds or you just going to parrot CCP propaganda?
@ATangk: You're kidding right? Your example is sabotage. Other examples are mostly intentional harm by the manufacturer.
@dealhunter52: In a 1.4-billion-people country, more than 50 times bigger than Australia, no surprise that there are some bad actors here and there. In recent years, the food safety standards have greatly improved, probably not up to Australian standards, but not far behind either.
So the risk from one of the top 3 sunflower seed brands should be negotiable.
@dealhunter52: They don't do enough. And they're not timely or transparent about what testing they do or the results of the testing. In this regard Australia's authorities are worse than the US' FDA.
955 is sucralose, an artificial sweetener like aspartame (951). Commonly found in sugar free products like Sunkist Zero Sugar Soft Drink, the one you gave a positive vote on 17/01/2024.
like Sunkist Zero Sugar Soft Drink
Both Coles & Woolies have stopped selling it and I like Sweetener (955)… 😢
Gopnick's favorite snack
Red ones are best.
Yum
Never again buying these. It takes more energy to open these annoying little things then the energy you get from eating them
Use teeth.
Asian people use their teeth to open this …
skill issue
That's why we lose weight from eating these
Thanks. Was looking out for this.
Mulder would approve.

So much effort for very little reward.
