Tonight | Four Corners on ABC: Duped Food Exposed follows the human cost of supermarket staples – Four Corners continues its food investigation tonight as Adele Ferguson follows the supply chains behind products familiar to Australian shoppers.
Duped Food Exposed – Part Two puts the focus on the workers behind everyday food items, from cocoa farms in West Africa to fruit farms in Australia. The investigation examines whether the ethical and sustainability promises consumers see on packaging stand up to scrutiny.
For viewers, the episode lands at a time when food prices, supermarket power and product labelling remain major public issues. Ferguson’s reporting follows the people and places connected to the products that end up in Australian homes.
Four Corners Duped Food Exposed brings the investigation back to the human impact of supply chains, where trust in a label can sit a long way from the conditions faced by workers. The second part keeps the focus on accountability across both international and local food production.
