Damn. Alternative that isn't?
Türkiye is 90%+ Muslim. Be very surprising if the pork came from there.
So the pork…. is not pork.
What's wrong with imported pork, as long as it meets the food standards of MPI? Yes, NZ pork is of better quality but it should be treated as a premium product with a premium price. Rest of us just need normal pork for our cheap dumplings. Japanese people don't all eat A5 wagyu all the time
Don't know if that claim is true, but I assume the underlying issue they have is that imported meat could come from countries without animal welfare protections.
This is for sure part of it. I feel bad enough eating pork from NZ. Absolutely stoked to see these guys https://poaka.co.nz/ opening a store locally!! I've been generally avoiding pork but I do love a dumpling.
Can you back this up with a link?
Second this, I don't doubt it's imported pork, but curious because i can't find the source
Most pork is imported, so it's not surprising.

I definitely believe it is pork, but the price dictates the source. I rang a mobile number (iirc from the packaging?) and the Chinese owner answered the second time.
Never considered the Muslim factor, but I recall many Asian roast duck stores including Tai Ping using imported pork from China, Middle East etc.
I prefer South Island pig because it tastes better.
Might be targetted, but I got an email saying if you spend over $50 on dinner made easy you get free express pickup using code DINNER. 8 bags of Auntie Dai's qualified.
I selected non express pickup and got $6 credit, which more than pays for the $3.50 pickup charge.

Woolworths Essentials Baked Beans 420g $0.30

Looks like not every store is offering the $0.30 price - even when they have stock.
The following stores have stock and have it priced at $0.30
The newtown store in wellington has them for 30c, has them on display for 50 or 70 but they ring up as 30, they taste better than I remember but the bb date is in a week or so
Back to $6 never I guess
I know this Auntie is a Cheapies favourite, but please be aware it is made with imported pork. I think the director said Turkey, but that was a while ago.
