Well I have just been shopping and all the Colgate toothpaste that I looked at comes from Thailand.
It would be great if others posted examples of products and where they come from as I am sure there are plenty of surprises out there.
I know I have plenty more to add
Solved! Go to Solution.

I did this exact same thing yesterday!. Macleans is made in South Africa.
Checked the Colgate, Sensodyne and Oral B. Thailand and Mexico from memory.
The only one in Woolies that was Australian made and owned was Cedel, so that's the one I bought.

The country of origin needs to be made clear. Current labelling laws allows the imported ingredients or mix of local and imported... which tells us (consumers) nothing.
Lets hope the Govt does actually get around to fixing that.

Will do. Toothpaste is a problem, comes from all over the place.

Sensodyne toothpaste - Thailand
Not that long ago the Colgate Sensitive toothpaste was made in Canada. The cheap $1 type shops sold toothpaste made in Indonesia/Asia.
