Hiding the country of origin

Posted by keepitlow (My Page) on

Some of the foods products I see in the store do not list where the product is made. I see this with house brand mustards at supermarkets or cereals at Walmart for instance. All it says is "Distributed by XYZ Company"

I wonder if these food products are being made in China? My favorite consumer rip off is from "The Great American Fish Company" - all their fish comes from China.

they are not required to list where the food is made if it contains more than one ingredient. most likely, at least one of the ingredients is from china.

I find it annoying also.

I recently bought salmon that said it was a product of China but harvested in the US. I have also bought fish that just says product of China. Will not be purchasing that again.
