"Last Mott’s jug I looked at stated it was made from Chinese apples."

80% of the garlic consumed in the US comes from China. That means whole, chopped, crushed, garlic powder/salt, etc.

Which is why we now grow our own.

I think at least the whole garlic has to be marked with the country of origin.

I just noticed for the first time the other day that the beef at our local store was marked with the country of origin. It said:

1. United States
2. Canada
3. Mexico

On the same steak. I can understand two countries, but three? What the hell?
