Response From Green Giant

Hi.  Here is my reply from General Mills, which has the label Green Giant:

Dear Mrs. Dalgliesh:
Thank you for contacting General Mills regarding Green Giant fresh aspapagus.
General Mills does source some ingredients and packaging from outside the U.S. General Mills has strong internal requirements and programs to ensure that all of its imported ingredients and products are obtained from safe and reliable sources.
In addition, where country-of-origin labeling requirement exists, General Mills fully complies with all applicable laws by placing the required label on the back of the package, along with other pertinent consumer information.
The health and well-being of our consumers is our highest priority. General Mills’ own internal sourcing programs and safeguards, in combination with existing laws and requirements, ensure the safety of our products. Please be assured that your comments have been shared with the appropriate individuals.
We appreciate your interest and hope you will continue to choose our products.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Garrett
 
Boy, they have a cookie cutter response, don't they!  Well I believe we can produce enough food in our own country that I don't need to buy foods from other countries to survive.  So that is my decision, whether they think it is justified or not to do it.
