Default Made in China

I was ready to make ginger snap cookies this evening and a friend
tells me that most ginger is grown in China. I said get out of town.
So I call up McC spices and sure enough, their powdered ginger is
indeed grown in China. Apparently even "fresh" ginger in my grocery
store is too. To top it off, my friend said there was a big recall
back in July because of pesticides used on ginger products from China
(nausea, headaches, etc).

Am I being paranoid, or should I just go ahead and make the cookies.
I have nothing against China per se, just their food track record
isn't so hot...

TIA, Naz
