We need to know the country of origin. I suspect these are from south american countries.
We expect all our good food cheaply and then import poor quality food and pay huge price for them (which is twice or more of the export price of our own product). Supermarket duopoly is leading to unaffordable prices for local consumers and they atre simply robbing us. If we benchmark NZ grocery prices with UK, you will find we are paying 2 to 3 times more. The same story in Australia. Colonies cannot have a higher standard of living you know.
Have they ran a conclusive test on the berries? No mention of testing, or referencing to test results as yet. Liver damage is one of the side effects of the safe and effective shot
