Alert: Check Labels in the Store and Do NOT Buy Chinese Garlic

If you don’t check where your garlic is coming from, according to a prominent senator, you could be in for a very nasty surprise.

In a letter to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott warned that garlic grown in China could be nourished on human waste and ought to be investigated.

Scott’s office said in a Dec. 6 news release that he was taking the action “following reports that the garlic is being grown in human sewage, then bleached and harvested in abhorrent conditions often with slave labor.”

In the letter, the senator said he had grave concerns about “imports from Communist China of all grades of garlic, whole or separated into constituent cloves, whether or not peeled, chilled, fresh, frozen, provisionally preserved or packed in water or other neutral substance, and the threat they pose to U.S. national security.”

“Food safety and security is an existential emergency that poses grave threats to our national security, public health, and economic prosperity,” Scott noted.
