Remember Melamine?
How it was added to milk and
dogfood by those really nice Chinese companies!
MELAMINE:
An explosion at a chemical plant in eastern China has
killed fourteen workers. ... Melamine is a
nitrogen-rich chemical used to make plastics and
other products: however, Xinhua said
no poisonous or harmful substances were released by
the explosion." Link
RESET:
"In 2008, baby formula tainted with melamine, an
industrial chemical, killed at least six infants and
caused kidney problems in more than 300,000 children
across the country.
Eating in China ....
Safely
"I choose the apples that are pock-marked and
are slightly bitten up by bugs," she told me
while replacing the apples in my basket. "I
figure if the fruit is good enough for the insect,
it's good enough for me."
In China, she told me, the most perfectly formed,
most appetizing piece of fruit is the scariest of
them all. Link
The latest food safety report? Watermelons so
juiced up with growth-enhancing chemicals that the
fruit bursts open in the field.
We
like Martinelli's Apple Juice ... 100% American!
Pure 100% juice from
U.S. grown fresh apples.
With the renewed crisis in Chinese
products the Herrickreport.com and LiveChinaFree will
continue to search for U.S. Products or those known
to be USSAFE!
ENGLISH CIDER GAINS
DRINKERS!
"Figures show that my new apple crop has
coincided with an extraordinary revival in the
fortunes of cider. Three years ago, one in every nine
pints pulled in a pub was cider.
Now it is one in six. More than a billion pints
are drunk here every year, a 50 per cent growth in
just three years." Drink
up!
I have received
responses to inquiries made concerning Apple Juice
made at Lucky Leaf and Tree-Top as both companies
make a product that comes from US grown apples. Each
does say that they do use Chinese apples during times
when US apples are not available. Each said to look
closely at the printing on the bottle itself for
remarks concerning country of origin.
Read the letter at .... Link
Apples are not
directly imported into the USA from China due
to "safety" concern; so it must be
processed there into concentrate and shipped here. It
arrives in drums like these ....
and then processed here into the
product you buy at the store.
We support all companies that buy China
Free and especially make juice from U.S. Apples!
Martinelli's Apple Juice ... 100%
American!
LUCKY LEAF
bought at Wal-Mart! ... Says " from USA"
MOTTS .... says on the
packages I saw Concentrate from China
and Argentina.
Hill
Country .... an Texas brand sold at H.E.B.
said ... "China".
Old
Orchard .... China
and .... some others were named.....
TREE TOP Brand said .... " Concentrate
from USA"
Albertson's Brand
Apple Juice ... China
But even Tree-Top and
Lucky Leaf use China to fill in the gaps in American production.

U.S.
Apple Association
"After Chinese juice concentrate
entered the U.S. market, the average price for juice
apples fell to $55 a ton in 1998 from $153 a ton in
1995. The industry filed an antidumping case but lost
on appeal with the U.S. Commerce Department. Today,
more than half of imported concentrate comes from
China.
"It was an uproar within the
industry," said Jim Allen, president of the New York
Apple Association. "What can we
do? It just takes the bottom right out of our market
when the product is being delivered to New York City
for less than we can process and harvest it here in
the United States."
But are Chinese
Apples and their processing safe! Jury is
out; Support American Growers
"The former head of China's Food
and Drug Administration was
executed in recent weeks after being found guilty
on corruption charges -- a step the government said
should serve notice to others trying to cut
corners."
The
Herrickreport.com is trying to be fair; if you have
information that is pro-or-con about Apple Juice ....
Chinese or otherwise please submit. We have taken
information from the net and it can be questionable
but we assume it is accurate.
