Chinese garlic is filled with bleach and chemicals

Personally I am avoiding wherever I can Chinese products and especially food. Garlic from China is sprayed with chemicals to stop sprouting, to whiten garlic, and to kill insects and plant matter. 

Chinese garlic is also bleached. According to Henry Bell of the Australian Garlic Industry Association. He also reports that garlic is grown in untreated sewage, “Bell also calls into question some growing practices in China. “I know for a fact that some garlic growers over there use raw human sewage to fertilize their crops, and I don’t believe the Australian quarantine regulations are strict enough in terms of bacteria testing on imported produce,” he says. “I also challenge the effectiveness of the Chinese methyl bromide fumigation processes.”

Our granulated garlic is grown and processed 100% in California. Support American made products wherever you can.
