The other day I wanted some cottage cheese and pears. Something my Grandma always had in her refrigerator. A couple days go by, and I’m in the mood for the two items. I look at the pears to check the ingredient list. Looked good, until I saw the “Made in China” line. My pears came all the way from China. Don’t we have pears that are grown, and canned in the United States? I went online, and checked pear production. Yes, we grow lots of pears here in the good old USA. So next time I buy canned fruit I’ll have to check the country of origin before I bring it home. Support American Farmers when ever you can. When they are gone it will be to late.
With Halloween coming up insist that all your candy be produced by a Country that follows our strict food safety laws. Just my opinion. click here for Pear Information!
Each Christmas my family has always enjoyed the butter cookies that come in a tin. They usually have a wind mill or some Danish scene on the can. They were always a nice treat at Christmas. I was all set to buy a tin from CVS when much to my surprise I noticed the made in China logo printed on the bottom of the can’s ingredients. I put them back immediately. I don’t mind my TV or toaster being made overseas but I want my cookies and all my food made in the USA. Hershey packed up a lot of stuff and moved to Mexico, I now no longer buy those things. Now so much food is being made in China too. How about making some stuff in the United States? Sorry I want my food to be made right here in the good old USA. CVS keep your store brand cookies and we will have to do without them.
Hershey a American company that’s been in business forever. Mars a American chocolate company that’s been in business forever. Which one of the two products shown actually are made in America? You would think both of them but that is not the case. America’s chocolate Hershey has sent the York peppermint patty to Mexico. Why? Greed. Those wonderful little candy bars they make are also made in Mexico. Milton Hershey would be ashamed of his corporate boards decision to manufacture many of it’s products outside the United States of America. I called 1-800-468-1714 and voiced my concerns to Hershey. I really don’t think they cared. Give them a call and see what they tell you. Mars manufactures Dove made in America chocolate. It is my new favorite. Sorry Mr. Hershey. You lost my respect and my Business.
It is a product sold all over the United States and it is made in our own little town of Scranton. If you have ever driven to the National Bakery you are just a few blocks away from where this sweet treat is manufactured. There is a building on the corner of Sanderson Ave and Poplar Street that has the Topps logo on the front of it. That is where these little ring treats are produced. On a nice summer day when the plant has some windows airing open you can smell the pops for blocks. It is not a necessity to be a small child to eat a ring pop, but there must be a desire to have a lollypop type treat you can wear like jewelry. Cherry is my favorite! They also have a sugar free version too! So next time your in the mood for a lollypop try a Topps Ring Pop made in Scranton Pennsylvania!
