I heard on the news last night that 80% of all Vit C comes from China. I'm not sure but think the story was on CNN, did anyone else happen to hear this?
I have my dog on Ester C and wondering if this is a safe product considering the problem with pet foods.

Peggy - I went through my cupboards and chucked anything from or made in China. I read a news article on MSNBC that virtually no imported ingredients are inspected. Usually just seafood and produce are checked for rotting or molding - ingredients are never checked for chemicals.
I called and am waiting to hear back about the vit C cuplement I use for my dogs. I'll post when I hear back about it.
I think my dogs and I will be eating "locally" now. Yikes!

You may want to rethink whether "local" is better:
"The Food and Drug Administration has known for years about contamination problems at a Georgia peanut butter plant and on California spinach farms that led to disease outbreaks that killed three people, sickened hundreds and forced one of the biggest product recalls in U.S. history, documents and interviews show.
Overwhelmed by huge growth in the number of food processors and imports, the agency took only limited steps to address the problems and relied on producers to police themselves, according to agency documents. . ."

Thanks for writing them Anne. It dispelled my concern as I was reading this thread since that's what I use for Lear. Now have to check the Ester-C I'm taking.

Thanks Anne, I ordered mine from GNC and even though it says made in the USA on the bottle I e-mailed them asking if any of the ingredience in their Ester C comes from China.
