Believe me... as much as they can... literally so... LOL...
I’m appalled at how much “Made in China” is there... ugh! I didn’t think my apple juice came from China until someone explained to me that it did, also... hoo-boy!
I try to check everything I buy for source.
Recently, I bought a jar of honey with honeycomb in it at Trader Joe’s. No origin is given so I asked two different employees. I was told if source is not named, it is the U.S. I’m not sure I believe that.
I learned a year or two ago that most of the fresh garlic in the supermarkets comes from China. I haven’t bought it since.
Products of China are taking over. I get fresh vegetables in season at a local farmer's market. I especially like their fresh garlic. Last year I couldn't find the bin of garlic they usually have and instead they had garlic in net bags like many stores sell onions. When I got home I realized in small print the tag said the garlic was a product of China. On my next trip I quizzed the worker at the farmer's market about what happened to their terrific garlic they always had and why they had garlic from China~ she did not "get it" at all.
