Chinese Products & Why Organic Matters Even More

You have probably heard about the problem with tainted milk products from China. This is another reason, in a very long and growing list of reasons, for sticking with organic products. The number of Chinese products in organic products in the US is low and dropping. Many organic manufacturers are looking hard at their supply chain to ensure that only high quality reliable organic ingredients make it into their products.

China is growing fast and furious and the world's hunger for low cost goods has created a bit of a 'gold rush' mentality in China. Just like the gold rushes in the U.S. back in the 1800's, rules are broken and the rule of law is often ignored. It doesn't make it right, but that's just how it is right now.

So, in the meantime, support your local producers and buy certified organic products whenever possible. Your risk of any exposure to these harmful products is already low, but it becomes extremely low when you stick with organic products.
