    Woolworths is an Australian supermarket. So is Coles.

    Where are you located? Are you in Australia?

    I had to push that ecoli thing out of my mind. I use Woolworths brand blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. They come from Canada and Chile. I haven't found an Australian product yet.... And if I did I'd say it would be way too expensive. I pay $4.50 for a 500g gram of aforementioned fruit.
    As long as it doesn't come from Thailand etc I'm ok with it.

    I wish I could afford the $10 a punnet for fresh raspberries and blackberries. Bloody highway robbery!!

    Fingers crossed the frozen fruit companies have cleaned up their quality control...

    I buy Oob organic berries. More $, but less dubious origin, and you couldn't pay me to eat non-organic berries even from Australia.

    Sometimes I buy fresh organic ones (can often get strawberries cheap in season) and freeze them myself.

    Yep was just about to say, Coles have some Australian blueberries but they are more expensive of course. The rest of the frozen fruit is usually 3 bags for $10, I'm not sure if the Australian blueberries are included though!

    I hate how much we have to pay for fresh berries here :( definitely going to buy in bulk next summer and freeze them.
