LOL,
For those that oppose the government mandating specific food labeling, I support the government forcing food stores to label Chinese imported food as “Grown in China” or something similar. I definitely want to avoid any food imported from there.
You said it! China's made big inroads in the American pharmaceutical market, and in vitamins and other supplements. Selling finished product, but also selling ingredients to American companies to use in their products. You think it's made in the USA, but it's not.
Mercury, lead and arsenic are common contaminants. Even if you can find a company that doesn't source anything from China, that could change at any time and you'd never be any the wiser. Companies aren't required to reveal it on the label, or anywhere else afaik.
That’s exactly why they will not label it.
Same with genetically modified foods. They know that people won’t buy them if they’re labeled as such, so they don’t label them. I’m allergic to GM wheat, and I found out the hard way.
