These were on sale at Makro last week.

Interesting, the grapes at Tesco that come from Australia come from my parents in laws farms here in Robinvale Victoria, I gather these come from elsewhere.

Yes, the "Shine Muscat" green grapes are (were) from China. I would be surprised if these are still on display for sale at Makro. Less surprised that Makro's owners were selling them in the first place.

The wife's niece bought some boxes of seedless grapes online. These were unbranded and there's no information on the country of origin but highly likely they're from China. I refuse to eat them and advise the family to do the same.
