Try Simply Apple Juice if you can get it. It comes in 59 oz. bottle and the neck of the bottle tells you were the product comes from. I have apple in the fridge now from US/Canada and orange from the US.

American made apples,
Lots of the stores carry apples or other fruit from overseas or at least some of them do so be careful.
I’ll have to tell my daughters-in-law about Mott’s because the grandkids love apple juice and I don’t know what they usually buy.
-———Is it really so much more expensive to use American based workers to process food in factories here in America?-—————
Yes and no.
The expensive part is the government intrusion and regulations.
See post 22.
That stamp looks very similar.(mine says concentrate/china) The bottle looks the same. The text/font is in the same dot matrix looking font.
Did you just take that pic?
It’s good. I buy the “natural” apple juice that has no sugar. Have on hand for my granddaughter.
You are correct, my bad. Chalk it up to frustration at what the change has been over the last nine months (and I don't mean any of my family having a baby).
Wanted to go back and comment on your post. Yes, fresh squeezed juice would be the best one could do, but apples are very expensive. I think to get enough juice to drink, it would be too costly for a family.
Who has the time? We’re all working our fingers to the bone just to pay our taxes!
When I was a kid I would ride 5 mi on a bike to pick blueberrys for 14c a pint. You’d get docked if you got caught eating the berrys L0L.
It was hard work but I dont see us losing this at a local level.
People LOVE LOCAL
This was inevitable once Clinton opened trade with China and Wal-Mart shifted their suppliers there to get those so-called “low prices”.
If you live near a Trader Joe’s, it’s a great place to shop for food. They refuse to buy from China, which is comforting as a consumer.

You might want to check more closely.
Many store brands use apple juice concentrate from China, as do well-known names such as Motts, Tree Top, Welch’s and Tropicana.
(Both Tropicana and Plano-based Frito-Lay Inc. are owned by PepsiCo Inc., of Purchase, N.Y.)

I see right here in Texas a Tortillaria started up by Mexican immigrants. Right across from the supermarket. Why buy chemical laden "mission brand tortillas" when you can get FRESH 50 ft away?
The cheap stuff at any cost crowd approves.
As a kid, I picked every kind of fruit and berries that grew in the state of Tenn. Strawberries, blackberries, gooseberries, dewberries, raspberries, mulberries, grapes, cherries, apples, peaches, apricots, wild plums, damsons, and pears, all grown on my grandparent’s 40 acre farm. And that was just the fruit. There was also every kind of veggies, nuts, melons, etc. Cows for milk and hogs and chickens and turkeys for meat, supplemented with squirrel, rabbits, and an occasional possum. We would never have gone hungry on that little farm. Unfortunately, our family lived in town (Huntsville, Ala) most of the time and we kids had to take turns spending the summer with the grandparents. I learned a lot from them.
About the fish from China ... since they use antibiotics that we don’t use in food animals, I don’t buy any fish from China, as far as I know.
I buy Alaska salmon and that’s about it.
We got some salmon fillets at Aldi’s once and they looked kind of funny.
I believe there were abscesses in teh meat.
Read label. Product of China. Threw out the package.
We raise our own beef and chicken and are lucky we can do so. It’s some peace of mind. But we’re having a hard time getting the salmon to do teh free-range grass-fed thing ;-)
I was lucky enough to learn from My Great Grandparents.
Strawberry harvest was a trip. They had to come in fast, and the whole extended family was there
