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.
The same with many chickens. They can now be shipped there, but when they come back all that needs to be labelled is that they WERE RAISED 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.
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. You can read several articles on Google about this.
At supermarkets bags of frozen Tilapia... Sure enough, on the top of the bags, it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said, "China"
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 s..t.

Many of their fish on Fish Farms are fed raw sewage daily. They raise this filth, put some food colouring and some flavourings 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!!!
Imported food we eat...Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China, but is Birdseye is safe.
Never buy 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.
Buy only local honey as much honey is shipped in huge containers from China and re-packed here.
If the country of origin is not clearly marked, beware…Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by" or "imported by". We don't understand the lack of mandatory labelling, especially the produce.
The list goes on and on so to know what you’re buying just look on the bottom of every product, and if it says 'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all.
Shop the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary eye open the rest of the year!
