OT: Organics Brand thinks we bought New Zealand :(

I thought this was kinda interesting.

Behold…

Organics Brand Apple Juice from Vons….

…..Yeah, it’s a Product of U.S.A….

…. Maybe not…

Either New Zealand is now part of USA or
maybe they meant the plastic bottle and label is a product of USA…

What the hell????

Kinda surprising because this isn’t exactly juice that has a ton of ingredients, like processed food where the food “creator” is not required to list the source of the ingredients, and the origin label is where the food was produced. So I’m guessing somehow this juice fell under that processed food category.

Another term I can think that I think is misleading on origin is “processed in the US”. I was looked at some nuts that said “processed” in the US, but when I asked the store management further, they told me the nuts were grown in China!

But you should be happy the apples are from NZ…they are far more organic, sustainable, and environmentally conscientious than we are here.
