I was tracking out the labeling on a can of organic black beans the other day. Hmm. No place of origin for these beans. Logos for USDA Organic. Certified by Quality Assurance International. I looked for GMO labeling and found none. Found a Kosher label. I looked up QAI on the net. They label thousands of different items USDA Organic.
In that short flurry of research I found out that they label Chinese organic products based on the word of the Chinese. Inspectors that work for China are the only ones allowed.
I started to get into the enormous volume stream of food and food type products coming from China and stopped.
This business of labeling while there is good in it, it is not reliable to my mind. There are big loopholes. I know I am a little off topic. I will continue to buy organic and so on but have little faith in the system.
