Golden Circle has taken out advertisements today to again declare it is no longer Australian owned, 18 months after it was acquired by US company Heinz.
Earlier this year the company announced it would donate more than 800,000 cans of Golden Circle fruit and vegetables to Australian welfare agencies after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) raised concerns about misleading country of ownership claims on some products.
Today the company has apologised because a variety of Golden Circle products remain incorrectly labelled as "proudly Australian".
Heinz says efforts are underway to update or correct the labels.
