Check Wal-Mart for sales soon. Developing....
Because they are dirt cheap. Dirt being the central word.
I personally boycott Made in China goods as far as possible.
Unfortunately it becomes harder and harder especially with plastic and electronical goods. I try to stick to Made in Taiwan, Korea or Philipines then.
And how does one know when their seafood comes from China? This is really bad.
Why is it cheap? Because FDA, EPA, OSHA, minimum wages, child labor laws... and other standards or laws don’t apply. Labor costs are only part of the equation. Things that are often illegal in the US are completely legal in other places, and the irony is that it’s OK to import these goods and no one says anything until some scare like this happens. But no worries America, the scandal will pass and your unsatisfiable appetite for cheap made products can continue unhindered.
People that take “fish oil” supplements need to contact the manufacturer and ask if there is Chinese fish oil in them.
I contacted Eckerd Pharmacy to ask about THEIR brand. (Yes they use Chinese fish oil)
We have to remember that the reach is greater than just the product itself.
A company like Red Lobster that serves primarily sea food and is a national company probably gets all its sea food from China.
We need to start asking and walking out of places that do not have American fish products available ,

And we trade with them...because? Help me out here...
***Because Duncan Hunter is not president yet.
Recently at the grocery store they were having a sale on red peppers. Yellow and orange were regular price.
Red from Mexico, yellow and orange from Canada.
I chose Canada. Never ever buy food from Mexico or China.
Because BJ gave them "most favored nation" trading status.
