This blog is all about food ingredients and where they are from. The country of origin of our food/medicine is a concern for us. We need to know from where our food/medicine manufacturers buy their ingredients. This is especially important and urgent when some country has food recalls or pandemic outbreaks. As consumers we want to know. We demand an honest disclosure for our food.

Welcome to Ingredient Matters!
In this blog we discuss and exchange information about getting more transparency into our food chain. We are not here to point finger at any countries or food makers. We simply want to know what we are feeding our kids, and, of course, ourselves. Furthermore, we would like to see same kind of transparency in the ingredients of drugs and medicines.
Where are our food ingredients from?

Is it hard to disclose the country of origin on our food?

Chinese government is notorious at covering up all kinds of wrong doings. They have no right to poison mankind on the entire globe, and should be held accountable for their actions. Would you just let someone poison your child without prosecuting the person? Without boycotting the Chinese merchandise, or holding them responsible for their seedy behavior, it's just a matter of time that these sort of incidents will happen over and over again.
I do agree with Sophia that as a consumer, we should be able to find out where the raw material comes from even the the product is labeled "Made in USA".
Thank you for your posting, JH. I do agree that we need access to information that we can learn where our food ingredients are from. And we want to ask our government to require food companies to do so.
If we can keep our own house in order, educated consumers in U. S. would be able to make their purchases accordingly. The food companies would learn not to get their ingredients from countries with broken rules and substandard of food safety.
