The Brisbane-based company has been selling products marked "proudly Australian owned" more than a year after it was bought by US food giant Heinz.
Heinz spokeswoman Jessica Ramsden has laid the blame on the sheer size of the company's output. Further saying, "We had over 400 products to relabel since acquiring Golden Circle late in 2008 and it's just simply taken much longer than we anticipated to complete this process."
I am sure that the Australian executives at Golden Circle knew fully well that their products were labeled 'Australian Owned' and therefore participated in deceptive conduct while selling their product as Australian owned while Golden Circle was owned by parent company Heinz.
So I do not accept the explanation given by the Heinz representative.

Sole Carer of 92 Year Old Mother Deported From Australia
Edward Joseph, sole carer of mum Irene, 92, told to leave Australia
A DOTING son who refuses to put his mum in a nursing home has been forced out of Australia.
The SRI Lankan man, who was to have been deported from Australia despite being the sole career of his elderly mother, has now left the country voluntarily and is understood to have taken his mother with him.
The shameful Australian Immigration Department said that his mother had other children living in Australia that could have cared for her. If that is the case then whey didn't they take up the careing role for her? He and his mother have left the country, doesn't that tell the immigration something about the family dynamics?
This is a disgusting set of affairs and only serves to highlight how heartless the Australian Immigration Department is. The department is run by cold blooded bureaucrats.
