--S-A-- Food scam: Raw almonds outlawed, false labeling implemented

[Guest guest]

Yes we can - and those of us who know will surely do so. Sadly though, it is

likely that most people will not even realize that the almonds they are

buying labeled " raw almonds " will actually be cooked almonds from

California.

 

I hate to see the entirealmond industry suffer, but once almonds from

California become pastuerized we will have no choice but to choose only

almonds labeled as originating from outside California. Best by far to buy

only " organic " almonds, just as it is for all fruits, nuts and vegetables.

 

If the almonds originate outside the US, one should be careful that they do

not come from one of the countries south of the border where pesticides

banned in the US are still used (yes, folks, although we have banned a

number of pesticides, we routinely import fruit and vegetables from coutnes

where they are allowed).
