Our family hasn't bought GG in years. Roughly, about 20 years ago, the Wall Street Journal had an article by a couple of award-winning journalists who were chronicling the demise of manufacturing in America due to NAFTA.
One of their reports was about GG shutting down a canning plant in California and moving it to Mexico. The Mexican workers were going on strike there because the new factory was only employing them 11 months of the year so they could claim they were only part time and therefore not even have to pay the pitifully low Mexican minimum wage.
I wrote GG saying this was BS, as I now could now not trust the quality of their products since I figured the unhappy workers might be spitting in the cans.
Never got a reply, so we switched to their competitors and never looked back.
This is the first time I discovered the frozen veggies are from Mexico.....again, had no idea.----I buy USA!
