I live in NW Washington, where they grow a lot of apples. The local grocery chain, Haggen's, has been very active in keeping WalMart from building a super store here. One of the their reasons was foreign food products.

Surprisingly enough I bought a bottle of Haggen's brand apple juice for the kids. When I got home I noticed that on the bottle it said "Product of China." This from the company based in Washington where there are lots of apples. That stuff went down the drain, not into my kids.

Moral of the story, Evil Wal-Mart isn't the only company getting products from China. Some of the companies bad mouthing Wal-Mart are doing the same thing.

I bought a jar of apple juice years ago from WalMart. It was an old name brand that I liked but rarely bought because it was more expensive than other brands. White House maybe? After I brought it home and started to drink it, I found something about China on it. Maybe Processed in China? It was written in dark ink on the outside of the clear bottle, but you couldn’t see it because of the juice itself until after you drank it. It’s the last time I ever bought anything to eat or drink at WalMart.
