was looking up beans on the supermarket website like a very normal person, and noticed one particular type of beans was getting low ratings. i wonder why? ohhhhhh.....

Chinese beans. I used them to bulk out spaghetti don’t like the fact grown in China with questionable hygiene standards

Made in China a NO NO for us. Added to nachos I made for hubby and he was happy with flavour and texture! I would not buy these however as made in China! Surly we can support Australia and make these here??

Sorry. Very disappointed as after I got home, found they were from China. Will not buy this product. I will still buy other beans of other brands as they’re great nourishment for a small price.

Wrong country. I can't eat anything from China and try never to buy anything from there,I know they were packed elsewhere but still.... do we not grow them?

Handy. Making pasta e f*gioli and did not have my usual bean mix, used these and was just as good. Only downside as beans grown in China not sure I would trust the growing process.

Are they really organic? We eat a lot of beans, I was excited to try these and then disappointed to discover they are packed in Italy using beans imported from China. Im sorry but I am not very confident in the legitimacy of the term 'organic' when products originate from China. We used them in bean nachos, they held their shape, were firm and not mushy. I liked there was no added salt. I dont mind purchasing Italian products as their climate is perfect for growing tomatoes and beans but I prefer not to buy products from China.

"Grown in China". Not of a fan of any food item coming from "China" The beans are bland by themselves but good as an additive in our vegetable soup as a filler. Intersting that they are packed in "Italy"

also the sort of boomers who go and review cans of beans on supermarket websites are fucking hilarious, there are pages of reviews like this

Not a fan. We wouldn’t buy these usually, not a fan of beans.

Not a fan. as i said "not a fan of beans" but my wife liked them so they must have something going for them.

lol why would you go to a supermarket website and write two separate reviews to tell people you dont like beans

Yuk. Yuk wont buy but i dont like beans anyhow lol

why would you tell on yourself like this

Not my cup of tea. Put in nachos but didn't like the flavour they brought out thank you for letting me try

youre welcome?

    Today I learned there's a whole community of people who don't like beans but leave negative reviews on beans nonetheless, huh.

    I'd bet more than half of all online product reviews posted in english just boil down to "made in China, eww"

      as a control i looked up rice grown in thailand and apart from a couple of 'i only buy grown in australia' reviews, there was none of the corresponding negativity so yeah its definitely sinophobia specifically rather than just the general australian background racism

    vote for hypercapitalists because you're triggered by Non-White people
    said hypercapitalists deregulated your entire food industry
    among a million other things, your chickens are also fed arsenic-based feeds in order to grow 2% larger
    the arsenic-loaded chickenshit is used as fertilizer
    now your rice has the consistently highest arsenic levels in the world, more than China, India, Vietnam or literally any country in Asia
