i'm staying clear of any food or personal product made in china. soaps..shampoo's. who the heck knows what they are putting in stuff.

you really have to check the labels. many good ole usa company's have their producta made in china. the lables will say distributed by and then made in china in real small print.

Not too long ago I heard on TV that even some of our 'trusted' meat comes from China & they are soon to put a label on all food products (including all fruits & veggies) saying where it is from, so you can see it without 'studying' the label on the back.

clouds..if you do some searching..see if you can find a website that lists products that made for american companies, that are actially made IN the USA. USA made packaging too.

i doubt there are products that all ingredients and packaging are made in the USA.

i'd do the searching, but i'm supposed to be doing something else and not online.

plus you are awesome at finding stuff.

First is what tells you exactly the rules are for being labeled Made In The USA

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/adv/bus03.shtm

These sites are a few where you can find or search for products made in the U.S.

(I was thinking I saw a smokestack nearby that said Nabisco. So on that last site Chris gave, I entered "Nabisco" & one of their locations is in Toledo. Looks like they are all in the U.S....lol)

I have noticed some products - food and other things - have started putting a big Made in USA right on the front of the package lately. I'm going right for those items when I shop.

I made sure all the Halloween candy was made in USA except one, which came from Canada. I was shocked how many countries this stuff is coming from these days. I figure China may be shipping tainted ingredients to those other countries. I'm not taking chances.

For Christmas too, I'll buy less and buy American.
