It’s tomatotastic this week! Tomatoes are a staple in many of our kitchens, but how much do we really know about what we’re eating? Nick Follows worked on this this Panorama investigation which see’s Runako Celina uncover the truth behind the tomato purees we use in pizzas, pasta sauces, and more. Tracing the journey of tomatoes from China to Italy and finally to the UK, she investigates whether products linked to forced Uyghur labour in Xinjiang, China, could be making their way onto the shelves of some of the UK’s largest supermarkets.

Panorama: What’s on Your Supermarket Shelves? The Dark Side of the Tomato Trade airs Monday at 8pm on BBC One and is available on iPlayer.

Nick also edited a Blood on the Shelves: The Secrets of Xinjiang’s Tomato Industry, part of the BBC World Service Documentaries. This 60-minute documentary also looks at the year-long BBC Eye investigation that uncovered that tomato paste produced using forced labour in Xinjiang, western China and how is likely being sold in major UK and German supermarkets.
