....or if you are just the average joe who doesn't feel like rolling the dice on whether or not you're ingesting melamine and lead with your fruit.
This is beyond scary to me...
Occasionally I'll pop open one of the Dole/DelMonte fruit cups for the boys for a snack. I just dump out the fruit, rinse it off and cut the pieces a bit smaller. Today I was looking at the package to see how the brands compared calorie/sugar-wise and got quite a shock. BOTH brands are apparently a 'product of China'. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? With all of the recent recalls for tainted milk, excess lead, etc I will no longer be feeding these to the boys. I realize that DelMonte and Dole are both American companies...but so what? If your product is being farmed out to China for production you can forget it. I'm tempted to contact the companies with my concerns and urge anyone else who takes issue with this to do the same.

I hear ya! I am getting fed up too. I won't buy produce from anywhere other than USA and Cananda. I am done! Some of the grocery stores are just out of control. Try to find any produce from USA. Wouldn't it be easier to buy from your own country then to buy from Ecuador and Argentina, where God knows what there regulations are for food. I finally just bit the bullet and said USA or organic. We already do organic Dairy. Soon I will be growing a huge garden and freezing it all up for winter. I am such a squirrel! :)
