Ginger lead contamination
OMG, do you have any idea how much TJ's ginger I ate?
I wondered why they stopped carrying it. No wonder I'm ten pounds overweight ...

I must have bought the last one, last week, Australian ginger must still be OK ... those are still on sale, and I believe some dry ginger cookies as well. And they sold barrels of "ginger brew" at Christmas. And I think they still have chocolate-dipped ginger. J. |

I made a special trip there once just to try these so wonderful ginger snaps. I wasn't impressed. I did save the nifty plastic container though. It's my new cookie jar. |

Still selling, just saw them in the new flyer. I tried them once and wasn't impressed either, but try the big, soft Gingeroos ... J. |

It works just spiffy and lasts forever. I'm not too worried about this new food hysteria. A little lead in a little piece of ginger ain't gonna kill you. |

Yes. > > Really? I made a special trip there once just to try these so > wonderful ginger snaps. I wasn't impressed. I loved them. > I did save the nifty plastic container though. It's my new cookie jar. That goes into the recycling bin at my house. We need to contact our congress people and senators about stopping the TPP, which is an expansion of NAFTA. If you don't like NAFTA, you will hate TPP. It means more jobs shipped to Asia and more contaminated imported food, if we don't stop that thing. http://www.citizen.org/TPP -- A kitchen without a cook is just a room |

Sadly the FDA has dropped the food safety and adulteration ball so these days you have to be your own food safety agency. That's ok - in fact it was probably always up to the consumer to assure the quality of their own goods. FDA enforcement actions are usually late in coming and often completely voluntary as well. |

If no one is going to watch our backs, then we're up a creek without a paddle because we rely on production food these days, not what we produce ourselves on our farm or in our garden. -- A kitchen without a cook is just a room |

Puritan Pride honestly told me their ginger caps come from both Nicaraqua and China.
