AFAIK, all processed and canned foods here indicate the country of
origin. However, raw seafood does not. I am going to be looking a lot
more carefully at food origins. There have been too many problems lately
with Chinese food products. The latest to be recalled is yogurt for
crying out loud. Don't we have enough cows and dairies here that we
don't have to import dairy products from China?
