I'm holding it in my hand, looking right at it.
"CONCENTRATE/CHINA" It's on the side of the bottle on the the rim that's just below the "since 1908" stamp in the plastic bottle. The upper most rim.
Government is just too expensive.
I went to a fruit and vegetable stand in Santa Paula the other day and the garlic was stamped “Product of China”. I didn’t buy it.
I think if you turned America upside down you’d find “Made In China” stamped on the bottom.
I remember being shocked when I found out that some apple juice I had bought was made in China.
You have to be careful with candy also. A lot of it is made in China.
Appre Juice?
Thank God we still have fresh cider
Not long ago, I was in the market for a steam iron. Nowadays, just about all of them are now made in China, but I managed to find one made in Germany.
Later, I needed a toaster, but I could only find one brand that was not made in China. It was made in England and cost more than $200, so I had to settle for a $20 Chicom toaster.
Almost all of vitamin supplements sold in the US are from China. How easy to use up their melamine!
99% of dog chews are from China.
Yep Minute Maid is as close to non China as you can get and it comes from many countries except China At least the little juice boxes I keep around say that.

Here in southern New Hampshire, there are some apple orchards left, but there used to be many more.
One reason is that young folks in farming families just don’t want to do the hard, dangerous manual labor.
Another is the enchroachment of housing developments and airport expansion that increased land values, especially during the real estate bubbles. Farmers could get lots of money by selling off acreage to developers. So the orchards are smaller than they used to be.
The juice imports from China have been going on for a long time. The small local farmers just can’t compete when you’re talking huge quantities of juice. Most of the orchards that are still open produce seasonal cider, wholesale fresh apples to local supermarkets, and have retail farm stands and pick-your-own businesses.
And the help that farmers use is mainly immigrant labor. That’s not a recent trend. Some orchards up here have been importing workers from the Caribbean and Mexico for 40 years.
I was in Target and noticed, coincidentally, that everything I looked at was ‘made in China’.
It started as a little fun thing so I started looking around the store to see if I could find anything not from China. To my amazement, I could not.
I asked to speak to a manager and asked if there was anything in the store not made in China? His answer, “Not that I know of.”
This all happened 10 years ago. It’s much worse now.
All our manufacturing power has been shipped to various countries all over the world to “spread the wealth around”. Now we have nothing and the Bush clan was just as bad as the Liberals.
Flounder fillets, Salmon, Talapia, Roughy, Crawdad were all from China.
My gosh......do we produce anything but toothpaste anymore?
Now the people in England have to have second grade apples from France or none at all.
Why don't you just buy apples? You can get a great American made juicer and make ultra-fresh juice yourself.
Just google "American-made juicer" and have a look.
What more could you want? American made apples, American made juicer, and juice made by an American...you.
Try Simply Apple Juice if you can get it. It comes in 59 oz. bottle and the neck of the bottle tells you were the product comes from. I have apple in the fridge now from US/Canada and orange from the US.

This was inevitable once Clinton opened trade with China and Wal-Mart shifted their suppliers there to get those so-called “low prices”.
The cheap stuff at any cost crowd approves.
I used to be the Maintenance Manager for White House in Maiden, NC back in the early nineties. Not only was most of the apple juice cut with concentrate from Chile, if the apples were of high quality and the juice had a high “brick” content (sugar) the juice was cut with filtered water to stretch the batch.
They treated their employees like dogs, especially the temporary workers and had on eof the highest turn overs of salaried personnel that I have every witnessed. Eventually they phased out most of their growers in favor of co-packing (Gatorade, Snapple, etc.) and bottling juice from concentrates. We do not use any White House Foods (National Fruit) products knowingly in our house hold.
It was my understanding that Japan bought most of the apples in the Western US when I was with National Fruit, which drove up the prices
