Is this product sourced from China?

From the FAQ on http://himalayandogchew.com/, they are sourced from over 900 farmers in Nepal, and from rural community co-ops of the Himalayas (currently Eastern Nepal and mountains of West Bengal in India.

It doesn't say on the package, but the Himalayas are in Tibet, now a part of China. There are no additives, only milk, salt and lime juice. My breeder recommends them and my dogs love them.

No it is not. The company in based in Mukilteo, WA and they source the product directly from the Himalayas and the people who create it naturally like they have done for many years. Hope this helps. They are low in fat too! .9%

On the packaging, it states that they're sorted and packaged in the USA. However here's a blip from their website: "Most of our Himalayan Dog Chew (made with Yak and Cow Milk) comes from the shaded region (in the map to the right) of the Himalayas in Nepal. Remaining come from a Dairy Farm (made with Cow Milk) in Moses Lake, WA." So yes, a tiny region of the Himalayas is located in China, but I think that these treats shouldn't be lumped in with the other inferior and potentially dangerous treats coming from China. These aren't the typical factory made junk products we've all been told to avoid. On the packaging, it states that they're sorted and packaged in the USA.

To the best of my knowledge it is not, though Yaks are native to the Himalayan region and the product is essentially cheese from Yak's milk so there might be a connection here however thin, but the company is based in the US from what I have read.

The package says "Product of USA". The company is in California. I do NOT see the word "imported" (which would mean it comes from outside the USA) any place on the package.

I understand your concern and I have a similar concern, however, it's the best of all options I have found so far since most of our goods are made in China. It really comes down to how conscientious the company is about quality control and where the material originated. Aluminum, for example, may come from a bauxite mine in Australia, is shipped to Iceland for processing at Alcoa (cheap electricity, using hydroelectric from a dam built by Chinese workers), then shipped to China for making products. This is one of the best water bottles I have found. PS If you use sunblock or cosmetics, the chemicals used and potential health hazards are very scary--there are a select few who are actually safe.

manufacturered is one thing, where the actual asorbic acid compounds are sourced is another thing - when they don't answer, I would assume China...

The label states that it is made in the USA. However, that does not reveal the source of their ingredients. NOW Foods does source some of their ingredients for other products from China, so if you are avoiding Chinese ingredients, you need to ask them about the source for this product. If you'd like to contact them, you can do so at http://www.nowfoods.com/AboutUs/Contact-Us/

I was also trying to research the origins of this product. Have seen other reviews of BulkSupplements where reviewers have eventually determined they are produced in China.

Almost certain it's sourced from china as is their powdered form of stevia.

To my knowledge. No. Recommended byt my holistic vet and my dog has thrived on it. No where have I seen anything saying it was made in China.

Yes, our product is extracted, encapsulated, bottled, and labeled in the USA in an FDA cGMP certified facility, and is rigorously tested for purity. The results of this testing can be seen in the Certificates of Analysis and Manufacture located in our product images. These documents prove that our product is manufactured according to all FDA guidelines within the US and that our product is sourced within the US. Please be aware, just because a company states their product is "Made in an FDA compliant cGMP certified facility" does NOT mean the raw materials come from the US. It is common practice among supplement companies to import material from China then encapsulate their product in a FDA cGMP certified facility. Such companies rarely make their Certificates of Analysis or Certificate of Manufacturing available to the public. Many will not provide them even upon request. -DHM Depot

This one is sourced from China. Unfortunately, they are either sourced from China or Japan and both have quality issues, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives!

The label says it was made in China. It's still a high quality product, though.

According to their website the majority of their products are US based, but they do get some from Canada and South America. They claim that they steer clear of sources from China. I didn't find anything about this specific product however. The headquarters I believe is in Utah but they also have locations in AZ and California. Hope that helps.

I am disappointed in their answer. It is bough from any country available including China. I will never buy from them again.

I didn't inspect the packaging, and didn't really concern myself with it's origin. My guess would be China...what ISN'T made in China these days?

Made in the USA. Does not necessarily mean the ingredients are sourced here though.

I just checked this. It says china. I can't believe I didn't research it because I endeavor to never buy anything sourced in china. I guess this one slipped through. I do like the ginger it's a good price but I won't buy it again if its always been sourced in china.
