Synopsis

For many, the tomato is a pantry mainstay, yet questions linger about its origins. In a report for Panorama, Runako Celina traces the journey of tomato purees – those essential for pizzas, pasta sauces, and countless other dishes – from China to Italy and finally to the UK. Her investigation explores whether products made with forced labor in the Xinjiang province of China, involving the Uyghur people, might be appearing on the shelves of major British supermarkets.
