Boycott Chinese Food Products

Pass the following along to everyone concerned about food from China. Trader Joes stopped importing all single ingredient items from China about a year and a half ago. The are also good about labeling and have products from the USA and many parts of the world.The following is an entry from the China Boycott database for Trader Joe's:

Country of Origin: USA

"In October 2007, Trader Joe's began to phase out foods imported from China amid concerns that standards on "organic" products from the country aren't as stringent as they should be." Wikipedia

At my local TJs I found that all their produce items are no longer imported from China. However multi-ingredient prepared foods may have ingredients from china, so ask about products that do not list the country of origin or say "distributed by Trader Joes Monrovia, California".
