Check article. I always read labels, and try to buy stuff Made in the U.S.A., - also purchase foodstuffs with NO high fructose corn syrup whenever possible.

As comforting as it is to buy products "Made in the USA," which I do, I often wonder where the contributing food/grain/juice products are from that are used in the production of the product. There really is no truth in the label as long as some or all ingredients come from nations where standards are minimal, lax or nonexistent.

I have refused for years to buy Tyson chicken because they employ illegals. Same goes for Smithfield hams and Paula Deen, who is their spokesperson, is off my list. There are also "made in USA" products which are managed by foreign countries or questionable characters so you have to make sure you know who you're dealing with rather than relying on a label. Just yesterday I found out a friend had bought a product on the internet which turned out to be a scam and was declared a scam by the BBB. Even though the home page had "made in the USA", everyone he spoke to was some middle easterner.
