I can remember the same objection in the 50’s to made in Japan.

I also worry about food stuff coming from China.

Last year, I noticed the Kroger’s brand apple juice I purchased was stamped “apple juice concentrate from China”.

I thought, how is the apple juice concentrate coming from China? Is it being shipped over in tankers? In large vats? It just didn’t sound too appealing. I assumed if the apple juice were bottled in China the wording would be a bit different, I assume it would just say “Product of China” or something similar.

I made a point of checking other brands. Tree Top says “Concentrate from USA”. Other store brands, Safeway and Albertsons, sometimes say “Apple juice concentrate from China” and sometimes say nothing at all.

Since then, I have made a point to buy Tree Top apple juice, and to always check the country of origin. I try to check on any other packaged goods as well.

Though as the above posters noted, if one or several ingredients in a packaged product were made in China, and the product itself was manufactured in USA, only made in USA would show on the label.
