I found the information about Vitamin C interesting. I had no idea that many of our vitamins came from China.

On a related topic, just what the HELL does our FDA do anymore?

I wouldn’t stop with just food items. My wife brought home some dishes made in china which were supposedly microwave safe. They contained metal, and most probably lead. Tossed them all in the garbage.

This should not be a surprise to anybody that ever visited a factory ‘over there’ OR to anybody that understands the corporate pressure to trim expenses at all cost (pun intended).

Exactly what they've always done. Take taxpayers' money and play at being bureaucrats, just like the rest of our government. See my tag line.

That should have been reported to your local public health authority so those products could be pulled off the market.

I have been waiting for this to happen. Maybe this is the beginning of the story.
Corn Starch and Sweet Potato Starch were the only items previously named that I could find. They are “like” wheat gluten and could be equally contaminated.
Keep me posted to your findings?

I wasn’t aware of it either. Now I have to go check the bottles & hope I can see where they come from.

I didn’t know about the vitamins, either. How much do we consumers not know about the provenence of our foodstuffs?
It’s not like it shows up on labels, except for obvious things, like farm raised shrimp, etc.

Walmart advertises 2” faux wood plastic blinds that are lead free. What does that say about the Home Depot blinds?
