..anyway, it just appealed to him and the name probably helped...'Treasures of the Sea'....
...If you look quickly at the bag, your eyes see Spokane, Washington...(& you think, USA)
..but if you look more closely, but not even small print, it says...
product of China!!
My husband hates to waste anything, but when I saw 'product of China' the whole bag got pitched.
A friend of mine bought a bag of talapia at Aldi's....'product of Viet Nam'....hers got pitched too.
I go around the supermarket carefully reading the small print before I buy anything !!
Of course this started after I discovered ...'Product of US, Canada & Mexico'... on the beef packages at my local supermarket (the one I frequent almost daily)...(they just started stamping this fairly recently)
So I started an amateur search on the Internet and almost gagged when I became more aware of the junk our nation has engaged in.... concerning our foods....
I'm just surprised MORE people aren't sick!
Since 2002!!!!!!!...our farmers and ranchers have tried to get our products labeled so Americans can see where their produce & beef, etc are originating!
Guess what, folks have lobbied to suppress this information-(Mexico being one!)- and year after year after year have succeeded in stalling the bill that was suppose to pass.
It would appear it finally passed about October of this year....the Country of Origin .
And many times your well known company--household names.... who has outsourced ..'just about EVERYTHING'.. to China, Mexico, etc....are very clever at hiding this fact.
Even with the 'country of origin' supposedly in effect, you still have to dig to find if the product is US MADE (not just distributed) or China made or Mexico made!
Dear goodness, what has happened to our nation.
In my opinion, there isn't (and there never was) a problem unless one is buying 50lb bags of "frozen fish" at Home Depot.
