Chinese Powders CANNOT Be Trusted!
I was EXTREMELY disappointed to see the following text on the product label: "Origin: CHINA"
NOWHERE in the Amazon listing for this item does it disclose this information.
I used to think Starwest Botanicals was a trustworthy brand, but I will never blindly trust them again.
I'm not a fanatic when it comes to products from China but, when it comes to a powdered food item, there is no room for uncertainty. It would be incredibly easy to add any kind of filler to this product, toxic or innocuous. I do not trust the Chinese merchants or authorities to ensure quality and I know the US inspectors do not do enough to verify the purity of imported products.
Demand quality. Find a product that does not come from China (or any other dubious region). Force Starwest to become a reputable merchant again.
