Apparently, some brands of Italian tomatoes are Chinese but relabelled in
Italy. I'm reluctant to buy the pine nuts from a local Italian s/m, or
anywhere else for that matter.
The fish caught by Alaskan and Canadian fishers is sent to the PRC for
processing and returns as "Product of China".
These days, the only food that you can trust is that grown in your own back
garden.
