I do not buy things labeled “Distributed by” big clue that it is foreign. Pay particular attention if you have pets! Look for made in USA or Canada.

Fixed it.
...
I saw del monte operation when I was in mindanao Island. Biggest kind of it’s operation in the world I think.
I still support local when able, I like the local farmers market.
MAYBE we should have...
A Citizen Protection Agency (CPA) that protects citizens from abuse by countries that pay-off our congress creeps... Pay-offs that allow foreign countries to poison our families and pets.. (yeah, all that dog food that was poisoned came from Asia...)
And while the CPA is protecting us from being poisoned they can also protected us from democrat totalitarians who think they're above the law...
do we make anything in this country anymore?
I don't know. My wife's family in India seems to get sick with GI stuff less than I do here.
I don't know. Wonder how FReepers like AlexW manage to survive if it's so bad.
Laws
Which is why I buy most of my seafood from Whole Foods (except for the salmon I get from an Alaskan CSF).

___________________________________________________
I eat mostly pork and chicken, and rarely any fish, but not because of contamination fears.
I live on a working beach with most all of my neighbors
working as fishermen, going out in their pump-boats at daybreak every morning. I supply them with ice each day.
On occasion, my wife exchanges ice for fish.
One of my American neighbors from Cape Cod has had one boat built for himself, and is building a second by himself, strictly for his own fishing.
Much of the fish caught here goes to the local market and is sold out by midday.
I have not heard any talk from anyone concerning contaminated fish.
“do we make anything in this country any more”
Yes. We mint currency.
No filtration ,, we’re just routing the stream through the ponds. I guess you could call it “flow through” filtration.. when we get bigger we will have to add a settling pond on the tail end before the stream leaves the property... whatever we dredge out of that could be used as fertilizer on the Mango trees...

**********************************
Farmed fish can be good or bad ,, the ocean fish is always good ... The Philippines has the most extensive reef structure(s) in the world and I’ve read that 75% of the worlds ocean fish breed there... If there’s a problem with ocean fish in the Philippines the entire world has a VERY serious problem.
I wouldn’t trust any meats canned in North Korea.
The EPA is America’s enemy!
So do I.
Unfortunately, our own farmers are held to increasingly rigorous standards that Chinese, Mexican, and other out-of-country suppliers are not held to ... this while our gov't (deliberately) turns a blind eye to the double standard that tightens the screws on our farmers & other domestic producers/manufacturers but helps outside sources whose products -- as we see here -- HARM Americans and America.
Just another example of the internal/external, laws/no laws wanton destruction of the beast. Despicable they.
