If you care about getting food not produced in China, as much as I do, please call the stores.

It is AMAZING how many people on this thread think that if their garlic says "comes from Joe's" or whatever, that it did not come from China. Nearly ALL garlic comes from China and it needs to be labeled "from California" (or elsewhere) for it NOT to have come from China.

A little internet research comes up with things like:

Layous and others cite a 2002 report by the now-defunct Americans for Wholesome Food, a coalition of businesses and organizations dedicated to educating consumers, on domestic and imported garlic powder. The AWF's report, based on independent lab tests, found "high levels of lead, arsenic and added sulfites in two supermarket-brand imported garlic powders from store shelves."
