Bumble Bee crabmeat comes from China

[BobRossi]

My wife picked up some canned crabmeat for a dish the other day, I was shocked to read on the can that it came from Chia.
What the fuck is with corporate America that they don't support the American worker?
We will not be purchasing any more of Bumble Bee's products.

2. Agree w/the worker issue, plus what else could be in it besides crabmeat. Just looked but don't

have a can of their tuna. Anyone else have one that can check to see where it's made. We need to get the word out for safety and jobs issues. thanks for posting. rec'd

I miss the old days when all we had to worry about was FD&C Red #2 in our M&Ms.

3. I was eating some seasoned pumpkin seed kernels and on the back it said...

Ingredients: Pumpkin seeds (Product of China), salt....etc

I was like, WTF? Don't we even grow enough pumpkins in the US?

6. Of course we don't

The corporate agriculture industry allows land to lie fallow and outsources to foreign countries because it is cheaper and more profitable for them.

9. Thanks for this, some of the Dole Sliced peaches come from China too.

Most of them are from Greece, but it sure is hard eating them knowing they are from China.
