Labels can be deceiving. Many say “distributed” in an American city, but don’t name the country source.

There are a lot of comments about this administration being responsible for tainted imported foods, but if anyone thinks it will be any better with the Dem party in the Whitehouse, think again.

What we need is real public outrage and a halt to buying any imported products that can be produced in our own country — or by ourselves.

Consumers should flood their favorite supermarkets and other producers with emails demanding information about imports. Congressmen, too, and anyone who might be involved.

I’ve nothing against free trade, but not when it puts Americans in peril.

King Arthur Flour, John Copes dried corn (delicious) Red Mill flour products — there is a long list of good food available online. There are shipping costs, but it may be worth it.

Bob’s Red Mill will email the origin of all their products, most are US grown. Someone listed it on another thread.

All of Giusto’s flours are from the US, IIRC - I called them.

Got a link to the John Copes Dried Corn? Used to eat it when I was a kid. Long time ago....

"free trade" always puts America in peril, which is why the Founders of this country were against it.

"free trade" usurps authority from citizens and gives it to corporations who operate globally. That destroys individual sovereignty, and is why our Congress and the president will act against wishes of 80% of the American people and pass an immigration amnesty bill. It is clear as glass that "free trade" has stolen our power as citizens. Now we can't even have a clean food supply-- something many of us have been warning about for years on this forum, because "free trade" has taken all the authority away from us over our food supply and given it to global trading bodies and the UN's codex alimentarius.

Food sanitation rules that prevent the third world from shipping products to our country are a 'barrier to trade'(just like citizenship is) and is not allowed under global trading rules.
