I don't buy any food or beverage from China, if I can possibly help it. Their food safety - indeed, their broader regulatory and legal system - gives me no confidence. When a Chinese company is a supplier to a powerful Western company which is subject to regulatory and reputational discipline, then I figure the Western company will "regulate" the Chinese supplier. E.g. Apple and FoxConn. But with food products, there's no effective regulator, so I buy from countries where poisoning food is considered a bad thing to do.
