Pears from China and Raisins from Peru
May 10, 2009 by Sara Zoe.
Canned food — an often needed timesaver, a sometimes necessity, and most of the time a complete mystery in terms of where these foods were grown.
The Global Grocer from Food and Water Watch is a tool that aims to help us demystify where those apples for that apple juice were grown before they were packaged at the address listed on the label. The tool also covers frozen foods and fresh. Some of the information is somewhat benign, such as potatoes. But those apples for that apple juice? Grown in China, a country that we know has significantly different agricultural practices that result in more contaminants in our food.
I’m going to use this tool to help me focus my shopping when I need to rely on non-local foods, and as inspiration to do more of my own canning and freezing at home! Visit the Global Grocer >
