I don't understand why a Canadian company would buy wheat from China! That makes no sense! What's wrong with good old wholesome Canadian wheat?

VERY untrue. Major brands are affected as wellOriginally Posted by CarolPetunia
As I read it, the brands are all store brands -- not name brands. So unless you're buying cheap store-brand food, you're probably safe. At least that's how it sounds to me...
Its not nessasarily the canadian plant that is affected by this. Its the US plants, and thusly they would not be able to get wheat from Canada unless they import it. Probably could get the wheat cheaper from China.Originally Posted by LokisMum
