Really? I didn't know that. I thought we could grow enough potatoes here. Seems daft to import potatos, heavy things that are mostly water. Maybe it's the stuff they used for extruded snacks like Twisties or whatever.MikeM wrote:I'm a Kettle man. They use Aussie potatos not dodgy imports.

Red Rock Deli is owned by Pepsico / Fritolay Huge multi-national.
Kettle started as a locally owned business, was joined up with snack brands Australia 6-7 or so years ago. Snack Brands Australia (Thins, CC's, Kettle, Frech Fires, etc) where purchased by Arnotts Biscuits in 2003?? or so to become "Arnotts Snack Foods". Arnotts Have recently sold the "Snacks" business to "Real Mcoy" who I think are wholey Australian owned.
