Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Checking the lid for an expiration date on a can of Libby's Organic Black Beans I noticed that it states " prod.of China " . Very small and not easy to read. The front label states " USDA organic " . I sent an email to Libby's-Senneca Foods and expect to receive a reply. I hope this does not offend anyone but due to the recent recall of so many products from China, I will not buy products,especially so called " organic " foods from this country. If anyone can enlighten me and assure me that these food products are safe I will apologize. Deanna in Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Don't apologize, Deanna. I think it's high time we ALL took more of a pro-active roll regarding our food supply. From what I've read, many other countries are rather lax in their food standards, and the US has allowed those countries' products to be imported. I also remember reading several years ago about the pesticide chain....we send our outlawed pesticides to Third World countries, and we get'em right in the fruits and vegetables they export to us. I hope that has stopped by now. I also read recently that Canada has some pretty high standards, so when I buy produce, I look for anything Canadian rather than other countries. Ultimately, we have educate ourselves and, armed with that knowledge, do the best we can. Just my humble opinion....

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I agree, we don't know their regulations and we have enough probelsm in our own food line so I cringe when I think about things I eat being imported in bulk not knowing what's really in the batch.
