I wasn't aware that Smithfield was located in China and that meat is sent to the USA!
Gross!!!

Yes, they sold to a Chinese firm a couple of years ago.

@Tinkerbell3 .... Yes, it’s been a few years now .... I haven’t bought anything from Smithfield for at least 4 to 5 years now ... I don’t trust any food related items that comes from China ... I don’t even eat Chinese food 👎

Anyone who thinks that Smithfield is exporting some of the plentiful U.S. pork supply to China and then IMPORTING it back again is believing in some incredible fake news
. (Not to mention giving credence to a premise that isn't based on common economic sense--we have pork processing facilities right here on U.S. soil, so why pay to import that food?)
. A Chinese company bought Smithfield because China needs our pork to meet pork demand in its own country, and Smithfield needed some financial support at that time.
Smithfield and its Chinese owners EXPORT the pork--to China!
We don't need to import pork products. The U.S. raises and processes enough hogs to stock the shelves in your local grocery store--with many different brands, by the way.

Well isn't this a disgusting thought. I used to buy Smithfield bacon thick sliced all the time, it's good, flavorful - or it used to be. I will not be buying anything in this brand from now on.
It's hard to find a really good thick sliced bacon that has great flavor. I'll be checking out the brand Wright to see about this one b/c I do buy this brand too.

More info to bust the myth that Americans are being sold "Chinese pork raised in the U.S."

Shame on Smithfield.

Well, I guess no one here wants to buy the different Smithfield ham products available on the QVC website.
Consumer choices based on false information and beliefs are not really informed choices at all, perhaps??
I'm not a paid spokesperson or even a special advocate for Smithfield. I simply have a degree in journalism (before anyone ever heard of fake news) and believe in facts.

For what? Shame on them for sending US pork to China?
They have millions of hungry people. We export food to other countries everyday and import food too. That's how trade works.
