Courtesy of Tess, comes this pearler:

”The Bird’s Eye product was produced by Simplot, the last large scale frozen vegetable producer in Australia. A spokeswoman said it contained sugar snap peas, water chestnuts and broccoli florets from China for commercial reasons.

She said the company’s equipment could not cut the broccoli florets small enough but new machinery was being worked on.”

This translates as “my plunger broke”. I bet they do start working on new machinery now that she has said it.

I wonder why they are so scared of the truth? That is, “broccoli florets so cheap from China that we can even afford to absorb the cost of a few recalls, a full-time spokeswoman, and negative publicity events, and still make more money than if we grew the shit here in Australia”.
