I was hoping that they took the oranges to the bottling plant(s). Upon reflection I can see that for a variety of reasons that wouldn’t work out. On the other hand on a lot of orange juice cartons it says that the juice has been reconstituted from frozen concentrate. I’m not sure how that is transported.

I’m not sure how they do that one either. All I know is that during the 80’s there was a problem with tanker trucks not being washed out properly between runs and that trucks that were hauling - amoung other things - diethylene glycol were then picking up liquid foodstuffs like orange juice.

Only then it was not a China plot to poision Americans. It was just sloppy quality control. Come to think of it, just like what happened with the U.S. companies that bought toothpaste with dietheylene glycol in it and childrens toys containing lead.

Sorry, I just get so disgusted with the nonesense I see on here lately. I’ve watched for years as U.S. companies cut costs by letting their U.S. managers go and hiring a Chinese national to run their factory in China.

I predicted then it would be trouble. What I did not predict is that poeple would come to the rediculas conclusion that someone was purposely trying to poision people.

It really all comes down to people that do not understand the difference between diethylene glycol and propelyene glycol, the later by the way being a regular ingredient in many foods you consume.
