Having worked in a related area, I remain convinced that food grown and processed in the U.S. Is probably the safest although if you eat any food raw, or undercooked, you are at risk of microbial attacks, preformed toxins that are heat resistant, and chemical residues. Keep in mind that food in the U.S. may come from foreign countries. China has purposely adulterated foods that poisoned people and pets—never put anything in your mouth made in China. Be cautious when traveling especially in 3rd world crapholes. At some point, everyone gets food poisoning, there is no escape since the microbes are ubiquitous.
My in laws just visited and my mother in law is known for making delicious jams and apple butter. She gave us a jar of apple butter and a jar of strawberry jam, both canned in old peanut butter jars reusing the lid that came with the peanut butter!! Am I wrong to think it’s crazy? My husband will get very upset if I say that the kids can’t eat it.
