It was at the Hy Vee grocery in Osage Beach, MO. Each package was labeled "product of China." That's enough for me.
btw, I've noticed that other food stores are featuring labeled food. Personally, if I don't know where seafood is from, I won't buy it.

“athletes for the Beijing Summer Olympics will have their meals shipped from their own country.”

Good idea.

Many of our markets up here have country of origin labeling, especially fresh seafood.

I believe current law requires all seafood to have country of origin labeling.

If not, I wish it were required to reveal country of origin! I almost purchased fresh seafood, until I read the sign that it was from thailand. The rule of thumb for ‘good seafood’, from what I’ve read, is to make sure it’s wild, not grown on farms, and now we have to make sure it’s not from China. It’s getting old. Considering the fact that we already raised our kids on milk tainted with anti-biotics, and growth hormones, there is no telling what else we don’t know about. I’m sick of all of it. Food supply needs to be in its natural state, left alone. We have “enough worries” imho.

Isn’t Tyson the company that wanted permission to ship frozen chicken to China for processing, then ship it back to the US for sale?
