Forced labor: Canned food producer demands high tariffs on tomatoes from China

Tomato transportation in Changji Hui Prefecture in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region.
Canned products containing tomatoes from Xinjiang are finding their way into European supermarkets unnoticed. The head of the traditional company Mutti is therefore calling for drastic measures.
The head of the Italian canning company Mutti is calling for industrial policy protection in the EU against non-transparent tomato imports from China. Company director Francesco Mutti told the news magazine Der Spiegel: "We should stop imports or impose import tariffs of 50, 60 percent on Chinese tomatoes – to protect local producers and also to prevent those who work non-transparently from being tempted." The Mutti brand is also one of the most popular suppliers of preserved tomato products in Germany.
