Nestle Juicy Juice - now from China

[SandEagle]

ok so im drinking the kids' juicy juice apple juice and was looking over the label to see which state the apples come from. to my surprise there is no info on the label at all. turn the bottle over and the words 'Product of China' are stamped in light lettering on the front. chinese apple juice tastes similar to american apple juice. awesome

Good thing I don't drink Juicy Juice. Thanks for the heads up though. I have families to warn.

I wouldn't consume any food product from china. I wouldn't cook on any cookware from china. And I wont have any child toys from china for my future kids.

Fuck Nestle's...I don't buy ANY food product from China...unfortunately, the manufacturers aren't required to list the origin of "ingredients," so I'm sure I still get my daily dose of contamination.

Welcome to three years ago.

EDIT >> Also, as admitted by Nestle:

The juice itself is processed here in the United States. The apples come from China, which provides over 50% of the apple juice used in the United States.

No, I didn't know of this particular product bearing the China stamp before now, but I don't drink it either. I do, however, read labels constantly, and have stopped buying or completely avoided other foods that have the China stamp on them. As always, and even more-so these days, "buyer beware".

Mexican Coke uses filtered water just like the Coke made in the US, but they also use real sugar and not HFCS. In that case, the product from the underdeveloped country is superior.

Truth be known, Mexico probably has better health standards than the PRC does.

I'm not sure why they'd be using Chinese apples. Logically, it would be more expensive to ship, but I suppose they don't perish as quickly as other fruit.
