@ptownjake Here's the first response (from 2008) when there was concern about quality standards of organics from China

“@ptownjake And we sell VERY few products from China... pretty much only ones that can't be sourced in the United States”

“@denasd Well, we don't have that many items from China. Mostly stuff that doesn't grow in the U.S. like tea, edamame, etc.”

“@denasd ...and to reiterate, we've never claimed that items from China are local... i'm not sure where you getting that info.”

“@denasd The USDA National Organic Program dictates the standards of organic certification for ALL food sold as such in the US... NOT China.”

“@denasd We've never claimed that products from China are local... and yes, there ARE organic products that come from China.”

“@BettythePug ....and there is no reason to deem a product unworthy or sub-standard simply because it's sourced from China

“@BettythePug Pine nuts are actually grown primarily in China... that's why we have not been able to find a U.S. supplier”

“@BettythePug didn't strike a nerve at all. It's just silly to assume that all products from China are sub-standard.”

“@CreenMJ That's not at all the case... the majority of the organic veggies we sell are not from China.”

“@mis_thing I responded yesterday... I guess you didn't see it. Both teas come from China.”

“@mis_thing So both teas come from China.”

“@IanMcMilan That said, the only private label frozen food we source from China is edamame. The video you reference is almost 5 yrs old.”

“@OE2009 Absolutely! It's old and inaccurate. For starters, the only private label frozen food we carry from China is edamame...”

“@jayalders @johnharvey3 That video is both inaccurate and old. The only private label frozen food we source from China is edamame”

“@icruiseAntoine Actually that article you're referring to is old and inaccurate. The only private label food we source from China is edamame”

“@kstuppy But [for that story] to insinuate those frozen veggies weren't organic simply because they were from China in inaccurate.”

“@kstuppy The only private label food product we source from China is edamame, because there are no US producers for it.”

“@nickypooh62 The only frozen private label food we source from China is edamame. The report you heard is inaccurate, misleading and old.”
