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

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?

Could be those threes sources but not sure about which country any particular cut would be from.

Ask them.

Wegman’s is announcing that country of origin labeling is coming soon, and I plan to announce to them that I will not be buying any goods from China if they stock it; just to let them know they’ll be wasting their money as far as I’m concerned.

It was obviously born in Canada, escaped and finally captured in Mexico. I imagine it was a bit chewy.
