I know. The apple juice really got me. One of my friends sent an email to one of the apple juice producers and asked them why they were getting concentrate from China and south America. I guess when they make apple juice they use the apples that they cannot sell in grocery stores. So teh ones that may be a little overripe or bruised. Sometimes there is not a lot of produce left for them so they have to turn to other sources. They claimed that if they didn't, then another apple juice company would take over their share of product on the shelf and they would go out of business. My thoughts are, that is fine, and I do understand from a business perspective. But I prefer to stay away from them and I will buy the ones I know do not have concentrates from China in them(even if I have to pay more). I have become a big label reader since having my daughter...

Reason number 134,597 that I'm sooo over how much we import from China with it's lax oversight and regulations in manufacturing. And it's VERY hard to avoid purchasing products that are *not* in some part created in China. Thanks for the link and raising awareness.
