The odd thing is at the Walmart stores in USA you have to be careful of Chinese crap. Many of the vitamins, some spices, teas, and so on are imported from China. I read an article just the other day that the FDA is proposing regulating imported vitamins and other OTC items due to toxins and impurities. Also there have been several pet food recalls due to animals dying from contaminated food.

I won’t buy anything that l intend to consume that is made in China.
