澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚小型生产商Stuart Young在Four Corners节目的调查曝光后，已暂停销售三款含有Leggo's番茄酱的产品[1]。该调查发现超过80%的Leggo's番茄酱样品的化学成分与中国种植的番茄相符，其中约三分之二的问题产品与新疆有关[1]。这项调查涵盖了来自39个品牌的221种番茄产品，共抽样约900个[1]。
Young呼吁监管部门提供更清晰的指导[1]。澳大利亚竞争与消费者委员会(ACCC)已表示正在"考虑Four Corners报告提出的问题和指控"[1]。国家党领袖Matt Canavan称调查结果"令人极为担忧"[1]。此外，美国特朗普政府上周对澳大利亚商品征收12.5%关税，理由是澳大利亚未能有效禁止强迫劳动进口[1]。
A Tasmanian small business owner has temporarily pulled three products from shelves after a Four Corners investigation revealed that Leggo's tomato sauce used in his goods may have originated from China rather than Australia.[1] Stuart Young, who runs the company, made the decision in response to findings showing that over 80 percent of Leggo's tomato sauce samples tested possessed chemical signatures consistent with tomatoes grown in China.[1] The investigation examined approximately 900 samples across 221 tomato products from 39 brands, with roughly two-thirds of the problematic Leggo's products linked to Xinjiang.[1]
The inquiry has raised concerns about modern slavery practices in the supply chain.[1] The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission stated it is "considering the issues and allegations raised in the Four Corners report."[1] Young has called on regulators to provide clearer guidance on labeling and sourcing requirements.[1] The findings come as the United States Trump administration imposed a 12.5 percent tariff on Australian goods last week, citing Australia's failure to effectively ban imports linked to forced labor.[1] National Party leader Matt Canavan described the investigation's results as "deeply concerning."[1]
