Interesting, but this is also bad info, in US chicken sold in supermarket is bathed in chlorine, unlike in Europe such practice is banned, but you are worrying clothed garlic bleached with chlorine?
Incorrect. When a chemical is banned in the US, you know a government official took a bribe. If you think any government is banning chemicals for your safety, then you are believing in a myth.
I know. I feel so bad for the Chinese people, who are subjected to all this, and don't have the way access to information that we have. It's profoundly sad.
Everything that comes from China is very scary to eat. Remember some years ago many pet dogs and cat were dying and then it was traced out to be the pet food coming from China all contaminated with plastic particles and other deadly substances China does not give a FUCK about anything as long as they make money avoid any food from China.
I grew up in San Jose California and my family could always smell the garlic from Gilroy if it was windy! My parents always hated it but I always thought it was neat and was proud to be near the garlic capital of the world!
That’s what I thought, I drove there once just to go to the festival and buy garlic fries. Then I watched Rotten and it left a bad taste in my mouth... more than the garlic fries.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. We eat a ton of garlic in our household! I now know what to look for when purchasing garlic. Thanks for sharing! You have a new subscriber!

Garlic is easy to grow. Buy some USA garlic with roots. Soak in shallow chlorine free water. Roots grow. Then separate each glove & stil them in small pots. They will now each grow a small garlic w 3-4 cloves each. Perpetual garlic. You can learn to dehydrate or can etc.
I don’t understand how and why our government has allowed our foods brought from China. I actually buy non gmo vegan Whole Foods stores and farmers market
I’m in Scotland, I buy organic garlic from the garlic farm on Isle of Wight. Shorter travelling time, a little more expensive but so much healthier than the junk from China.
My family's were from Shetland islands off the coast of Scotland. Can't wait to travel in Scotland and islands, Ireland and England in a couple of years.
I noticed Chinese garlic in my grocery stores here in California several months ago. Having grown up and lived in Gilroy, I can’t imagine using garlic from anywhere else! And this crap from china shouldn’t even be considered garlic.
Since watching you Bobby, I've thrown out a bunch of food & have reset my buying habits. Thanks for helping save my life & be able to live a bit longer! Cheers!
No never, I will never buy refrigerated food from 99 Cent store I don't care if I'm flat broke I will buy from Meijer, Kroger, Walmart, Wholefoods or any grocery store or a local market but never from cheap store like 99 Cent or Dollar General.
I never liked garlic in the jar the taste is not the same as fresh garlic. I buy a bag of garlic from Costco.I use a lot of garlic. I buy whole dill pickles slice them and put sliced fresh garlic in with the pickles makes them garlicky...yum
@@lin90210 cars are made in many places. My car was made in Japan. Black tea you do not buy, if you care about your health. Chinese have no regulations for locations of tea plantations. They have them over former landfills...with the groundwater (which keeps the tea plants alive) mixing with heavy metals from trashed batteries and electronics. Chinese government did not start regulating the use of lead in gas until the 1980s! Their soil is saturated with lead. Tea plants have a particular attraction for lead and other heavy metals.

Great information. Amazing how our so called government looks the other way when it comes to foreign imports because the almighty international corporate dollar is the bottom line.
Thank you for this information, Bobby. I’ve purchased the Chinese garlic before without realizing its hazards. And it really doesn’t have the flavor of our home grown garlic. Will definitely stay local from now on. You do us a great service with these segments.
I had no idea that those three packs without the roots were Chinese garlic. I did wonder why it was fairly tasteless though. Awesome useful information. 👍👍👍

Eric...I agree. In my earlier comment, I noted that garlic sprouts through the top. He describes garlic as a plant with the sprout coming out through the root. He is not careful and he does not know his subject. Just pretends. Thank you for your comment.
@@whatshisname2497 No rumor. I saw a video documentary that a friend sent to me years ago of how some poor people in China make money by using the sludge from the sewer, refining it at home to make cooking oil and sell it to restaurants. Restaurants buy it since it's cheaper than buying it at their local store. Utterly gross. Rice and flour are bleached but I stay from these as they are high carb. To avoid arsenic and bleach in rice, eat wild rice. Instead of all purpose flour, try almond flour or coconut flour. Tons of recipes online using these flours to make almost anything you want.
@@alwaysright5901 Yes, in Chinese, they call it "ground mixed oil". It is a somewhat common practice not only in China, but in other southeast Asian countries as well. Then those cheap eats on the streets, such as teriyaki, could have all kinds of meats in them. Fake rice, fake eggs, chemically altered marinating sauces...etc There is plenty of "wonderful inventions".
I’ve been growing garlic for years it’s probably the easiest thing you can grow . Stick some cloves in a 4 x 4 area of your yard and use them year round as they grow. Use the garlic scallions and late in the year use some of the bulbs but always leave a few behind. Can even pick in the winter many places. They’ll keep coming back year after year
Wow. You never stop learning for sure. This video was such a wake up call. I would have never thought garlic be produced differently from the right natural way. Back in Jamaica when I was younger, my grandfather would chew a couple cloves everyday that he got from the farm. As I got older I realized there are a lot of health benefits associated with Garlic. From today forward, I will be checking for the right one…
When I saw Product of China I put the garlic back and there was one there that said Product of Italy! Interesting. That was 3 days ago. Today Italy was crossed out and Mexico was written in! Can't we get garlic grown in the USA?
@Buddy Lembeck you have no idea what you're talking about. Most farm operations are automated, and require skilled labor these days. Turn off the TV. And you can get USA garlic....it's just that it usually gobbled up by particular companies. Take HEB for instance. It sources its garlic from California, and serves pretty much the entire State of Texas. That's where your USA garlic went. It went to Texas.
Thank you, Bobby. Over the years, I have developed a huge intolerance to garlic, causing major migraines. As an Italian-American, this has been problematic! Now I wonder if it’s not the actual garlic, but the bad ingredients that are used in the growing/harvesting process.
It would be interesting if you tried USDA organic garlic and had no issues with migraines. For me, I always would get shaky hands if I had more than 1 cup of coffee. Then I read somewhere that the pesticides used in places that grow coffee are banned in North America. Because I thought it would then be more healthy to buy organic coffee I switched over and I have NEVER had shakiness no matter how strong the coffee is or how many cups of coffee I drink. Hmmm 🤔
Thank you for the valuable info ! My genuine concern and question is : Why they are allowed to come here and then Retailers allowed to sell them ? How come FDA does not test them ? I am sure if you know this, they know it too Ban them !!!
IF you believed this video. there is something wrong with you. anyone that have a brain know this video is a scare campaign. If you place Chinese garlic out in the room. Giving the right condition it will grow sprout, hence telling you the garlic from china have been bleached to stop sprouting is a lie. garlic and onion are stored and shipped the same. It is ship in a dark climate control storage to stop it from sprouting. All plants need chemical, and chemical have a nicer word. In the plant world It is call nutrients. garlic is one of the hardest crop to grow because they are very unforgiving. You will need to do everything right to get a good harvest. So too much chemical( nutrients) in the soil will only rot the crop and you won't get a good harvest. Garlic crops are known to have natural pest control property. They don't really need pest control. So if there no problem to the crops do you think Chinese would waste money spaying pesticide on the garlic crops that will be shipped to your nation?? maybe just for the fun of it... :P every nation have bio security standards that protect a nation and their farmer. Do you think if the garlic from China have problem and don't meet the bio security requirement and safety requirement. Do you think the garlic will get imported and sold in a shop in your nation??? Shop that sell problem product will get it recall and they lose money. Do you think nation wide shops?? would buy it and sell it in their shops??
Sewage is just another way of saying fertilizer. In California, garlic is fertilized with animal feces instead of human feces. Both human and animal feces are effective and safe fertilizers. (Source: I’m a garlic farmer in California)
@@monice8, Yes, go & live there for an extended period of time & find it out, Tom Xu. I lived there on & off for 7 years since 2005-2019, rode my bike around the country roads/farm lands (Pudong, Shanghai, China); ... some true to what is in the video (sewage water, metal & other substance contamination, pollution,...) but I would never know about the peeling by teeth. I personally witnessed (Carrefour grocery store workers, attaching Dole Banana labels onto local bananas to sell for higher prices and also local shoppers switching labels from local brands to imported items for lower prices. Even the organic labels can not be trusted (wrongs in many levels- farmers, regulation agency, agriculture officers, markets,...). Watermelons injected w red water sugar; veins from expensive brand shrimps turn purple navy bluish in water; marks of injection (of some kind) on fruits & vegetable (tomatoes, pineapples, mangoes, apples,...); meat, especially beef, is heavily injected with red dye, to the point of almost double the weight ( 1¾ - 2 c of red water out of about 1kg beef, after sitting in the fridge for few hrs); excessive red dye in duck egg yolks; fake eggs, fake fish filets, toxic substances in baby formula & milk; cough/cold syrups (remember that? About 16-17 yrs ago); ... Cancer clusters in many places;... ... whatever it is, anything from China has none of my trust.
Sorry, I get unbleached garlic here in China. Yes, they do also have the bleached here, but the natural, even organic garlic is here. Also, check out Snopes for a more accurate explanation for the reasons the roots are removed in China as well as in the US. BTW, there's also some lousy flavored garlic to be found in the US that's domestically raised; taste is indeed a matter of taste! When I was in Boulder, the garlic purveyors at the Saturday Farmer's Market offered up to 30 different varieties of organic garlic for my selection; what a feast for both eyes and taste buds!
@@SRQBricks4Kidz I invite you to explore the world of "epistemology." A simple search for the word should hopefully lead you to at least one source that you are willing to trust. :)
The same think happening in India. Chinese garlic is in India as well and I saw a video recently by an youtuber in india advising against buying chinese garlic and only buying Indian garlic which is superior and safer compared to chinese one. So I think think this chinese garlic must be getting exported all over the world wherever there high consumption of garlic.
Thank you for all the work you do to inform us about what foods are better to choose. We are New England farmers. I am horrified by what you are saying about some imported foods! I just rushed to my refrigerator to see what I bought for fresh garlic. Thank goodness it is organic USA, but we are buying with curb side during the pandemic. Your videos are really making me focus on what resides in my pantry.
My husband of 35 years was born in southern China and he is the one who told me NEVER to buy Chinese shrimp or garlic. Have you looked at shrimp,Bobby? Same idea as you are saying about the sewer water to feed the shrimp. Yers, Gilroy CA garlic or the farmer’s market is where I go. US Gulf shrimp for us.
The only garlic I ever used for cooking is Gilroy garlic ..l have not seen Gilroy garlic in grocery stores lately, so I do not buy garlic at this time .

@jeremiah lawson Well done faithful servant. You can bring the horse to water but you can't make it drink. Some people are too far gone to help them realize Jesus is Lord. They will learn the hard way.
I watched Rotten and was infuriated with the documentary about garlic and Chinese prison. Not only they destroyed the garlic farmers in the states but in China too. Living in California relatively close to Gilroy I was livid to learn that our garlic came from China.
Growing your own garlic is so ridiculously easy, anyone can do it. I’ve even had my chickens get into my garlic sprouts;ate them down to the dirt. but they grew back and were thriving regardless. They’ll grow in a 5 gal. Bucket on a patio! They are resilient, forgiving produce. Just grow your own!

@@SalmaMohamed-vx7me Hi Salma but I think it would be hard to eat animals if we were forced to kill them ourselves. I've seen videos of it and it's disturbing.

This was so informative. I am a big garlic user in the foods I cook. I never knew that about Chinese garlic. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Wow, I work for Amazon Fresh and when customers order garlic and l assemble their order, I always wondered why was the root still on and not pristine white. I’m shocked. Thanks Bobby! Shop local guys.
The government has finally vowed not to allow chlorinated chicken or hormone-fed beef on British supermarket shelves, defying demands from the US that animal welfare standards be lowered as part of a future trade deal
Bobby! Thanks a gazillion for this. I follow your advice and it makes a real difference in flavor. And it protects jobs and farms here in our own country!
I feel the same way about produce from mexico! After a tour with Berkley professor of a district where all the manufacturing plants are. The water the local people drank and bathed in was toxic! As well as the dirt full of chemicals from those factories
I get sick when I eat produce from Mexico. My allergist took me off all Mexican foods. Really presents problems going to restaurants. I always insist on speaking with the chef.

I highly doubt the Chinese peel garlic with their "teeth" or even fingers. Common sense tells you, that is way too slow. Everything in China now is mechanized and mass produced. It's all about money and time is money. Not to mention the damage to mouth & teeth from 8 hours a day doing that work. You do a great job verifying product ingredients, why not use the same diligence on production methods as well.
Some small cans of crab meat from Mexico are hand picked. I watched a documentary showing how the plants where they pick out the meat are actually very safe and hygenic. But I agree the China garlic-teeth thing sounds a bit much.
You must have missed the part about the garlic being hand and mouth peeled by PRISONERS and not free Chinese people. Prisoners are FREE labor and they have all the time on their hands (and eventually their teeth) to peel garlic. Just because you "doubt" something doesn't make it untrue. Watch the "Rotten" video and then make up your mind. Don't be a lazy naysayer; do your own homework for a change instead of dissing on somebody else's honest efforts.
Reading this headline is scary. Can we no longer trust the food supply? Come on. Thank God for you, your family, and the best cameraman, Art, for all the knowledge shared.
No, we can no longer trust the food supply. Congress passed a law years ago allowing manufacturers to stop placing country of origin on labels. You have to do all your own research yourself these days. Since the Obama days and even Bush the government has not had our back in the Food safety area and have been shaking hands with China behind our backs and getting rich from it. Btw, China hates Trump.
Thank you so much I love your information it's so helpful! I lived in Guangzhou China for four years and I know about what they do with sewer water. So happy you made this video so that everyone can now know.
I used to live in Silicon Valley , formerly known as Valley of Heart's Delight., when it was full of magnificent orchards and non GMO vegetables. Gone now. I used to smell the aroma from the garlic from Gilroy when the winds were just right. Almost every day. I make sure my garlic is NOT from China. Anything grown there must not end up in your mouth or stomach. Unfortunately, 95% of toothbrushes are made there.
THANK YOU, Bobby! I am disgusted by the practices you shared ~ Growing garlic 🧄 in sewer water? Having people who are in prison peel garlic and when their nails disintegrate, they peel it with their teeth? I pray for those people. And I pray for all of us. How did it come to this?
I’m another one of those not in the know with garlic from China!! Thank you Bobby very informative. Oh and throwing away the jar of garlic given to me by a friend.;-)
I've noticed over the years that garlic has developed a weird taste. I don't think it was chinese cuz it didn't have the stem cut off. Decided to try organic and it tastes like garlic.
Be careful with organic .Ask questions be fore you by . A lot of them lie . Think about the soil , water , air . We have been used for testing profits !
I have been growing my own garlic for years. It is truly the easiest crop. The hardest part is preparing the soil as garlic loves rich composted dirt. I have friends/family tell me it is the best they have ever had. I always thought it was because it was fresher than “store bought”. Now I know why. No chemicals and no sewer water🧄
Omg... finally someone who cares about the same issues as I do. People think I’m overreacting when I raise these issues. Everyone!!!! Before you buy any food items look for where it’s made. I was horrified when I saw powered garlic made in P.R.C at Ralph’s market. Then I checked their other spices and most of it comes for China.
We grow our own Italian hard neck garlic, it has a strong garlic flavor and we like it a lot more then the soft neck garlic available in the supermarkets. Garlic is quite easy to grow here in Pennsylvania. For garlic powder, we only buy Costco's Kirkland brand that uses only California grown garlic.
This is a very interesting video. I am writing from London - many supermarkets stock Chines garlic - unfortunately we don't get Californian garlic - I was buying Chinese garlic and there was something about it that I didn't like - I am not quite sure why but your video has helped me to understand why my reaction was right. I now buy only Spanish garlic which is much better. Thank you!!!
Hello David I live not far from London just a bit of outskirt, I've heard neither garlic from Spain that are in all UK supermarkets is healthy . I know we have only two options either buy garlic imported from China or less worse from Spain
Thank u very much Bobby for this awareness. I mean I understand that the ones grown in CA might not be enough, but the govt should not allow that type of garlic to come into the country.

Everything that comes from China is very scary to eat.

I grew up in San Jose California and my family could always smell the garlic from Gilroy if it was windy! My parents always hated it but I always thought it was neat and was proud to be near the garlic capital of the world!
I used to love that sweet, pungent smell, about the only thing I miss about California.
That’s what I thought, I drove there once just to go to the festival and buy garlic fries. Then I watched Rotten and it left a bad taste in my mouth... more than the garlic fries.

Garlic is easy to grow. Buy some USA garlic with roots. Soak in shallow chlorine free water. Roots grow. Then separate each glove & stil them in small pots. They will now each grow a small garlic w 3-4 cloves each. Perpetual garlic. You can learn to dehydrate or can etc.
I planted garlic for the first time this year and it is growing so well! Wish I would have planted it years ago.

Thank you for this information, Bobby. I’ve purchased the Chinese garlic before without realizing its hazards. And it really doesn’t have the flavor of our home grown garlic. Will definitely stay local from now on. You do us a great service with these segments.
I had no idea that those three packs without the roots were Chinese garlic. I did wonder why it was fairly tasteless though. Awesome useful information. 👍👍👍
Interesting, but in US chicken sold in supermarket is bathed in chlorine (just search 'chlorine chicken'), unlike in Europe such practice is banned, but you are worrying clothed garlic bleached with chlorine?
You need to provide citations to these studies you're referring to in your videos. The facts matter.
Eric...I agree. In my earlier comment, I noted that garlic sprouts through the top. He describes garlic as a plant with the sprout coming out through the root. He is not careful and he does not know his subject. Just pretends. Thank you for your comment.
Exactly! I'm disappointed that there's so little request for citations for these claims.
Isn't like rice and flour bleached? Also, I've heard this sewer water thing is just rumor.
@@whatshisname2497 No rumor. I saw a video documentary that a friend sent to me years ago of how some poor people in China make money by using the sludge from the sewer, refining it at home to make cooking oil and sell it to restaurants. Restaurants buy it since it's cheaper than buying it at their local store. Utterly gross.
Rice and flour are bleached but I stay from these as they are high carb. To avoid arsenic and bleach in rice, eat wild rice. Instead of all purpose flour, try almond flour or coconut flour. Tons of recipes online using these flours to make almost anything you want.
@@alwaysright5901 Yes, in Chinese, they call it "ground mixed oil". It is a somewhat common practice not only in China, but in other southeast Asian countries as well. Then those cheap eats on the streets, such as teriyaki, could have all kinds of meats in them. Fake rice, fake eggs, chemically altered marinating sauces...etc There is plenty of "wonderful inventions".
Yikes! This is disturbing on many levels. Thanks very much for this information Bobby and what to look for when buying 🧄
I’ve been growing garlic for years it’s probably the easiest thing you can grow . Stick some cloves in a 4 x 4 area of your yard and use them year round as they grow. Use the garlic scallions and late in the year use some of the bulbs but always leave a few behind. Can even pick in the winter many places. They’ll keep coming back year after year
Wow. You never stop learning for sure. This video was such a wake up call. I would have never thought garlic be produced differently from the right natural way. Back in Jamaica when I was younger, my grandfather would chew a couple cloves everyday that he got from the farm. As I got older I realized there are a lot of health benefits associated with Garlic. From today forward, I will be checking for the right one…
My Italian grandparents too! it was good for colds and flu 🤧 we need to go back to the farmers ways with food 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this information! There is a lot of harmful stuff coming from China including dogfood products. I don't buy if made in China.
When I saw Product of China I put the garlic back and there was one there that said Product of Italy! Interesting. That was 3 days ago. Today Italy was crossed out and Mexico was written in! Can't we get garlic grown in the USA?
@Buddy Lembeck you have no idea what you're talking about. Most farm operations are automated, and require skilled labor these days. Turn off the TV.
And you can get USA garlic....it's just that it usually gobbled up by particular companies. Take HEB for instance. It sources its garlic from California, and serves pretty much the entire State of Texas. That's where your USA garlic went. It went to Texas.
Thank you, Bobby. Over the years, I have developed a huge intolerance to garlic, causing major migraines. As an Italian-American, this has been problematic! Now I wonder if it’s not the actual garlic, but the bad ingredients that are used in the growing/harvesting process.
It would be interesting if you tried USDA organic garlic and had no issues with migraines.
For me, I always would get shaky hands if I had more than 1 cup of coffee. Then I read somewhere that the pesticides used in places that grow coffee are banned in North America. Because I thought it would then be more healthy to buy organic coffee I switched over and I have NEVER had shakiness no matter how strong the coffee is or how many cups of coffee I drink. Hmmm 🤔
@@luv2travel2000 for me non organic coffee gave me stomach pains but that changed when I switched to organic
Thank you for the valuable info !
My genuine concern and question is :
Why they are allowed to come here and then
Retailers allowed to sell them ?
How come FDA does not test them ?
I am sure if you know this, they know it too
Ban them !!!
Just grow ur own garlic, it’s easy.
Thank you so much, am in Canada but I'll look for garlic with the roots, no more China

IF you believed this video. there is something wrong with you. anyone that have a brain know this video is a scare campaign. If you place Chinese garlic out in the room. Giving the right condition it will grow sprout, hence telling you the garlic from china have been bleached to stop sprouting is a lie. garlic and onion are stored and shipped the same. It is ship in a dark climate control storage to stop it from sprouting. All plants need chemical, and chemical have a nicer word. In the plant world It is call nutrients. garlic is one of the hardest crop to grow because they are very unforgiving. You will need to do everything right to get a good harvest. So too much chemical( nutrients) in the soil will only rot the crop and you won't get a good harvest. Garlic crops are known to have natural pest control property. They don't really need pest control. So if there no problem to the crops do you think Chinese would waste money spaying pesticide on the garlic crops that will be shipped to your nation?? maybe just for the fun of it... :P every nation have bio security standards that protect a nation and their farmer. Do you think if the garlic from China have problem and don't meet the bio security requirement and safety requirement. Do you think the garlic will get imported and sold in a shop in your nation??? Shop that sell problem product will get it recall and they lose money. Do you think nation wide shops?? would buy it and sell it in their shops??
Sewage is just another way of saying fertilizer. In California, garlic is fertilized with animal feces instead of human feces. Both human and animal feces are effective and safe fertilizers. (Source: I’m a garlic farmer in California)

I personally witnessed (Carrefour grocery store workers, attaching Dole Banana labels onto local bananas to sell for higher prices and also local shoppers switching labels from local brands to imported items for lower prices. Even the organic labels can not be trusted (wrongs in many levels- farmers, regulation agency, agriculture officers, markets,...). Watermelons injected w red water sugar; veins from expensive brand shrimps turn
purple navy bluish in water; marks of injection (of some kind) on fruits & vegetable (tomatoes, pineapples, mangoes, apples,...); meat, especially beef, is heavily injected with red dye, to the point of almost double the weight ( 1¾ - 2 c of red water out of about 1kg beef, after sitting in the fridge for few hrs); excessive red dye in duck egg yolks; fake eggs, fake fish filets, toxic substances in baby formula & milk; cough/cold syrups (remember that? About 16-17 yrs ago); ... Cancer clusters in many places;... ... whatever it is, anything from China has none of my trust.
I heard this quite a while back. You are spot on about china’s garlic and bottled garlic. I buy California garlic or do without.
Sorry, I get unbleached garlic here in China. Yes, they do also have the bleached here, but the natural, even organic garlic is here. Also, check out Snopes for a more accurate explanation for the reasons the roots are removed in China as well as in the US.
BTW, there's also some lousy flavored garlic to be found in the US that's domestically raised; taste is indeed a matter of taste! When I was in Boulder, the garlic purveyors at the Saturday Farmer's Market offered up to 30 different varieties of organic garlic for my selection; what a feast for both eyes and taste buds!

The same think happening in India.

So I think think this chinese garlic must be getting exported all over the world wherever there high consumption of garlic.

Thank you for all the work you do to inform us about what foods are better to choose. We are New England farmers. I am horrified by what you are saying about some imported foods!

I highly doubt the Chinese peel garlic with their "teeth" or even fingers. Common sense tells you, that is way too slow. Everything in China now is mechanized and mass produced. It's all about money and time is money. Not to mention the damage to mouth & teeth from 8 hours a day doing that work. You do a great job verifying product ingredients, why not use the same diligence on production methods as well.
Some small cans of crab meat from Mexico are hand picked. I watched a documentary showing how the plants where they pick out the meat are actually very safe and hygenic.
But I agree the China garlic-teeth thing sounds a bit much.
You must have missed the part about the garlic being hand and mouth peeled by PRISONERS and not free Chinese people. Prisoners are FREE labor and they have all the time on their hands (and eventually their teeth) to peel garlic. Just because you "doubt" something doesn't make it untrue. Watch the "Rotten" video and then make up your mind. Don't be a lazy naysayer; do your own homework for a change instead of dissing on somebody else's honest efforts.
Reading this headline is scary. Can we no longer trust the food supply? Come on. Thank God for you, your family, and the best cameraman, Art, for all the knowledge shared.
No, we can no longer trust the food supply. Congress passed a law years ago allowing manufacturers to stop placing country of origin on labels. You have to do all your own research yourself these days. Since the Obama days and even Bush the government has not had our back in the Food safety area and have been shaking hands with China behind our backs and getting rich from it.

I’m another one of those not in the know with garlic from China!! Thank you Bobby very informative. Oh and throwing away the jar of garlic given to me by a friend.;-)
I've noticed over the years that garlic has developed a weird taste. I don't think it was chinese cuz it didn't have the stem cut off. Decided to try organic and it tastes like garlic.
Be careful with organic .Ask questions be fore you by . A lot of them lie . Think about the soil , water , air . We have been used for testing profits !

I have been growing my own garlic for years. It is truly the easiest crop. The hardest part is preparing the soil as garlic loves rich composted dirt. I have friends/family tell me it is the best they have ever had. I always thought it was because it was fresher than “store bought”. Now I know why. No chemicals and no sewer water🧄

I'm happy to say I just checked my garlic that I have in my kitchen and they do have roots and it says from Orlando Florida so I think I'm okay.
Omg... finally someone who cares about the same issues as I do. People think I’m overreacting when I raise these issues. Everyone!!!! Before you buy any food items look for where it’s made. I was horrified when I saw powered garlic made in P.R.C at Ralph’s market. Then I checked their other spices and most of it comes for China.
You can buy garlic at your local nursery for planting. That's what I'll be doing this year🧄🌶🌽
We grow our own Italian hard neck garlic, it has a strong garlic flavor and we like it a lot more then the soft neck garlic available in the supermarkets.
