An investigative report by the BBC has found that several UK supermarkets are selling tomato purees labeled as ‘Italian’ that likely contain tomatoes harvested in China under conditions of forced labor. The report highlights the use of such tomatoes from the Xinjiang region, implicated in human rights abuses, and examines the supply chain linking these products to Italian processing firms. Despite denials from the supermarkets involved, the findings have raised concerns over the accuracy of product labeling and ethical sourcing in the food industry.
