Part of the point of the article is... you won't know.I don't trust any food that has been in, or originated in China.

Pretty sad indeed. I'm a label-looker. On every can, carton, package, or piece of produce I buy, I look to see what the country of origin is, if it's there. I don't like buying stuff from Mexico, much less halfway across the world, where people are valued about like ants.

Don't be so sure that American or any other country's processed foods are pristine.
I'm not, but frankly, I trust our farmers more than those of other countries. One of the few areas that I favor government regulations in this country is in food safety.
I don't disagree, but considering the number of food recalls and people suffering from food poisoning and worse from lettuce up to processed foods, meats and dairy, there's no way to fully trust any food - we're all potentially one bite away from serious illness or death.

Ironically enough, the industry is more or less self-inspecting. The FDA usually does not get involved until after something has gone wrong. When the FDA comes in, they come in like gangbusters, but that is only after a problem is found and there has been a recall.
Ewwww! I need to eat dinner shortly, and I'm too afraid to! :lamo:
When I said that a lot of that poison likely ended up in the grain the guy shrugged his shoulders. Look close at your sliced bread before eating it.
But without those regulations, I have my doubts that the producers would be self-inspecting in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong.
Like in most areas of government, regulations are generally pretty good but incredibly expensive to adequately enforce and so as Fisher says companies self-regulate because to be caught doing something wrong is far more expensive and damaging than doing things right.
Well hell Sawyer, that means you can't be baking your own, and feel good about it either, as the wheat gets ground and refined, then shipped out for sale.
Baking your own taste good though. Just look through the grain for mouse parts or tiny specks of blue or green, (d con).:lol:
Psssst- they bleach flour.
