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.

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!

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. Read

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."
