Just received an order from instacart and the garlic said "Product of China". In the trash it went. Please be aware of country of manufacture folks and stores need to be more transparet on their web sites. I will call the store manager tomorrow morning. China has very lax standards for pesticides and herbicides. Their waters are polluted and they use raw sewage as fertilizer. I will no longer consume any product from the dirty country of China.

@Reever That’s the only garlic I find in my store.

Thank you for the heads-up. Wegmans garlic is, last I knew, a product of USA.

If garlic from China was dangerous, we'd all be dead. That's all I see in stores. More uneducated Sino-phobia.

@Kachina624 is absolutely right. Throwing out garlic because it came from China is just plain silly. (That is the nicest way i can say it).

I was under the misperception that the majority of our garlic is still grown here, as it was once widely known to be. This news is disheartening for some, to be sure, but not surprising. I am however, surprised at the SCALE of produce we import.

I'm amazed at the numerous xenophobic comments about products coming from China. What would some of you do it you had to eat at a food truck that was run by someone who doesn't have your ancestry? Would you automatically assume the food served doesn't meet your criteria? That's exactly what these comments say to me!
