Australian sugar - NOT.
						
						  Here I go with another rant.  I've written to Choice magazine about this one; will be interesting to see if they respond.
Today I bought a packet of raw sugar at Safeway.  I usually buy Aussie CSR, but I spotted "Macro organic raw sugar" which had on the packet "Australian Certified Organic".  Sounds good enough, so I bought it.  When I got home, I had a closer look, and in smaller print was "Packed in Australia from imported ingredients".  HELLO!!  Nowhere on the pack did it say where these ingredients came from, so I phoned Woolworths to ask.  The lady on the phone said she could tell from the barcode,  so I read it out to her.  Guess what - the sugar came from Brazil.  I thought it was now mandatory for all food products to state the country of origin on their packaging?    I'll be going back to good old CSR next time.

Hi Gina ~~ Choice magazine should reply and I agree we want as many Australian products we can get. We need them for the jobs and our country.
I hope you enjoyed your pancakes for a week!!!
I would strongly recommend you visit my brother's blog -holtieshouse.blogspot.com/ as I am sure you will agree with his latest brief post and the one before has some family photos in it.
Take care, be kind to Ken. Love, Merle.
