After the pet food poisoning, I would hope that many people will be reading the country of origin on product labels. We hear that the FDA is overworked - hey, at least we HAVE an FDA. A simple boycott of imported foodstuffs may send a loud message.
Did that pass, are all products covered by that? Does meat and other products have to say where they came from?
Thx
And when they move these plants to other countries where they have fewer controls, worse hygiene.....watch the foodborne illness rates climb. however, FDA actually counts on the fact that it is very hard to spot (let alone prove cause and effect) illnesses from foods until they are severe because most folks don’t go to the dr for the run of the mill ones.
~LOL~ we might starve... I was shocked to find out garlic powder comes from China, our vitamins are made in China, etc... they have managed (probably with a great deal of help from Bill Clinton) to permeate every segment of our food industry.
Country of origin labeling? Now there’s a “nonstory” that nobody will talk about.
