As a personal testimony, I can remember when I was an employee during one of my High School summers in the M&M/Mars company in NJ. My job was to weight some large bags of M&M's to ensure the weight of the bags were what they said they were. We had to do Australian and U.S. candies. I clearly recall that the Australian ones had to be separated and NEVER mixed with the U.S. candy bags. We were given some of the "underweight" bags as "thank you's" during the day since they not going to be used any way. When I commented to my supervisor about the NON-U.S. candies tasting so much better, I was told that the Australian chocolate had much more rigorous standards than the U.S. (This was back in 1980 or so).
