FOOD FROM CHINA
Smithfield Farms, the largest pork producing farm in the USA was sold in September to China with the unanimous support of its stockholders!! The hogs will still be raised here, but slaughtered and packaged for sale there before being sent back here. This includes labels of
ï• Morrell
ï• Eckric
ï• Krakus
ï• Cudahy
ï• Premium Hams
ï• Cook's
ï• Gwaltney We rarely eat pork
The same with many chickens. They can now be shipped there, but when they come back all that needs to be labeled is that they WERE RAISED IN THE USA. Not that they were processed in China! I just checked my Foster Farms chicken purchased at Costco, Bellingham and it says, "hatched, raised and harvested in the USA"!
Our great FDA at work again. The chickens will be all processed and most sold to fast food restaurants for sandwiches, along with schools and supermarkets. The China slaughter and processing are not nearly equal to the requirements here.
*BAD FOOD*
We recently learned that Starkist Tuna is now owned by Korea, and is in big conflict with the U.S. concerning quality, safety, and records, which Korea refuses to produce.
Read several articles on Google about this, and even one that was defending the eating of tilapia said to avoid the fish that came from China? I buy fish from a fresh fish market or Costco Kirkland brand. The bag of cod fillets I have on hand says "Wild caught, product of USA". I'm hoping this is actually from USA waters!
Also, I had just returned home from buying Albertson's 4-day special of 4 bags of frozen tilapia for the price of one? Sure enough, on the top of the bags, it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said, "China". I wouldn't care where tilapia came from, it's a bottom feeder that is found in shallow water.
In general, farm raised fish should not be eaten because of the high concentration of antibiotics they are fed to prevent diseases due to being tightly confined with other fish. Buy wild caught fish from North America, Hawaii or New Zealand.
Read all the way to the end...
Recently a Food inspector on TV...said he had lived overseas and he had seen the filthy conditions their foods are raised and processed in. It is enough to make you throw up. Some foreign workers have to wear masks as they work in these places, because the food is so rotten and filthy, it makes them want to throw up. Many of their fish on Fish Farms are fed raw sewage daily. He said he has seen so much filth throughout their food growing and processing that he would "never" eat any of it. They raise this filth, put some food coloring and some flavorings on it, then they ship it to the USA & Canada for YOU to consume and feed to YOUR families. They have no Food & Safety Inspectors. They ship it to you to buy and poison your families and friends.
Imported food we eat and the junk we buy:
ï• Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China, We only eat fresh vegetables.
ï• and so are most of Europe's Best.
ï• Arctic Gardens are OK so is Birdseye.
*Never buy the grocery store garlic unless it is clearly marked from USA or Canada*, the other stuff is grown in people poop (even worse than chicken poop). China is the largest producer of garlic in the world; U.S. is next. I was told white garlic has been bleached by a shopper! I picked up the local garlic that was much more expensive and much darker. I never even looked to see where the white garlic game from.
*Buy only local honey*, much honey is shipped in huge containers from China and re-packed here. I love the going to the honey farm. I buy it by the bucket now!
Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria. Doesn't work anyway, big scam.
If the country of origin is not clearly marked, beware!
If produce, ask an employee. Produce in Canadian supermarkets is always clearly marked.
Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by" or "imported by". We don't understand the lack of mandatory labeling, especially the produce.
The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item in the store.
Go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary eye open the rest of the year. Mary's Garden will open in late May. Until then I'll go to the other farmers markets. They all show where the produce is from and I always buy BC whenever it's available, no matter what the price!
Please read this very carefully, and read to the very bottom. It's important for all of us.
How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it produced in the U. S. or Canada?
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '. - SO, for a FEW MORE CENTS, BUY THE *LIBERTY* BRAND.
*GOLD BRAND or DOLE is from CALIFORNIA*.
Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that come from China ..
ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME FROM CHINA OR INDONESIA. THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALMON" ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH.
*Recently The Montreal Gazette had an article* by the Canadian Government on how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken wire crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken poop.
If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed ; e.g: growth hormones, expired antibiotic from humans? Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these countries
ï• Vietnam
ï• China
ï• Philippines
Check this out personally.

Steinfeld's Pickles are made in India - just as bad! This is news to me!!!
Another example is in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia. I always buy fresh
Also check those little fruit cups. They used to be made in Canada in the Niagara region until about 2 years ago. They are now packaged in China. Most sold in Aldi stores.
While the Chinese export inferior and even toxic products, dangerous toys, and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands! Yet, 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
Well, duh ! Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA and the UNITED STATES.
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all.
