Cause for concern in Chinese bulbs?
Snippets: Like Christopher, John Layous of the Garlic Co. in Bakersfield, Calif., buys Chinese imports to keep costs low. He supplies Costco, Sam's Club and food-service companies. Layous rails against what he sees as China's unfair competitive advantage, saying his 185-person company, in business since 1980, pays decent wages and provides health and other benefits, unlike Chinese growers. "Another big addition to our costs is the expense we go through to make a safe product," he says, adding that U.S. companies are government-regulated to ensure food is safe.
Fresh garlic isn't the only form of the vegetable causing concern. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service says dehydrated Chinese garlic imports increased 384 percent in the past 10 years. Layous and others cite a 2002 report by the now-defunct Americans for Wholesome Food, a coalition of businesses and organizations dedicated to educating consumers, on domestic and imported garlic powder. The AWF's report, based on independent lab tests, found "high levels of lead, arsenic and added sulfites in two supermarket-brand imported garlic powders from store shelves."
Conventionally grown garlic contaminated with chemicals
Snippet: Despite this, Chinese garlic does not meet with food safety protocols (at least those in Australia). According to Henry Bell of the Australian Garlic Industry Association, garlic from China is doused in chemicals to stop sprouting, to whiten garlic, and to kill insects and plant matter. He also reports that garlic is grown in untreated sewage
Expose in the New York Times Magazine (Nov. 2, 2008) revealed that there are no major generic aspirin manufacturers in Europe or the U.S. Most aspirin is now made in China.

Wow! Thanks, MamaD. I buy JuicyJuice for the grandchildren from time to time. No More!
Is nothing sacred? LOL!
I find it deeply disconcerting how many “American” products are manufactured in China.
Nowadays, I am trying to go “back to the basics,” and instead of brand cleaners, I only use amonia and water until the bottle is done, and then I clean with only bleach and water.
I don’t trust brand name products anymore.
I called up the Campbell’s hotline last month, because several cans of Swanson’s Chicken & Dumplings which I’d purchased had NO dumplings in them.
I explained that I was rotating my emergency supplies and had discovered these bad cans.
Can you imagine this — the customer service rep who heard me state this started LAUGHING.
I was very polite; however, I did not find it a laughing matter that one of the types of canned foods I had in my emergency storage was WORTHLESS for an actual emergency.
I thought I bought a complete meal containing chicken meat, white sauce and wheat dumplings — instead I had a watery white mess with bits of meat here & there.
I won’t spend all the coupons they sent me — I could not believe that anybody, much less the people who manufactured the inferior food product would find it FUNNY that I had three cans of it in my storage pantry.
Amusing?
I was not amused, and I have no idea why the person employed by Campbells found it to be hysterically funny.
I am disgusted with brand names.
The LAST time I bought Dawn, they changed the cap — so that any time the bottle is picked up, the liquid detergent sprays out — it covered the groceries in the bag that day.
I’ll never buy anything by Proctor and Gamble again.
I’m furious with all these so-called “American” corporations - and am trying to only buy generic store brands, even though I realize that much or most of their items also originate in China.
I’ve read that much of the organic produce found in supermarkets nowadays is imported from China, and I seriously wonder HOW it can be certified organic??
/ rant.
(Sorry!)
Seriously, I suspect that many Americans are as irritated as I am, and we are ‘demonstrating’ with our pocketbooks.
