What is the country of origin for the stevia? Some products say their stevia is from Paraguay; I do not want stevia from China!

Hi, Did some research from manufacture's website and yes, it is from China but, from a certified organic farm that uses German inspectors verses Chinese inspectors.But like I said I've been using it for a long time and no problems. Hope this is helpful.

I like yourself am a customer, not a manufacturer, so I don't why Amazon would think I would know about the origin of products ingredients (Wakey wakey Amazon?). Anyway, I can tell you I have been using it over a year an am pleased with it, with no problems I have tried the powdered kind and I really like the liquid kind much better. I sure understand avoiding China's foods, that's a wise decision. If you want to pursue this further yoy might want to Google it.

I too was very concerned about country of origin AS THE PRODUCT IS NOT so labeled.I contacted the seller and after two emails back and forth was told: China. I asked if Pumpkin seeds were available from US and was told that this product is not available other than from China. I wish I knew if that was true. I am not happy buying food from China where I know that many ecological conditions are very bad. Oh well, I will use up the big package and in several months try hard again to find this product from U.S. source.

My wife and I have used this product for years, and it remains our sweetener of choice, as well as that of our homeopathic MD. As to the actual sourcing of the ingredients, I cannot comment. The leaf grows in S. America, but with the Chinese business ethic, (or the oft demonstrated lack thereof) anything could be possible. I personally would contact the manufacturer to verify this detail, if I had strong suspicions or concerns. Best of luck...!

I purchased this product once but no longer have the package so I am not sure what country it comes from. I now buy Nutiva organic chia seeds which the package states is from Paraguay. I agree - I do not want to buy from China either!

The back of the box says "Proudly manufactured at our plant in Kansas City, Missouri". There is a small American flag also next to this writing. The box also lists The Nutro Company at Franklin, TN. I want to mention that aside from English, there is also writing that I think is in the French language, not sure why. My doggy loves these snacks, I hope they are not made anywhere near China. I stopped a lot of my puggle snacks because of the news that China was tainting snacks and pet food with melamine.

It is distributed by NuNaturals in Eugene Oregon. However, that does not mean that it is from there. Usually, stevia comes from South America. The bottle has a phone number 800-753-4372 and a web site: www.nunaturals.com info@nunaturals.com. Perhaps they could tell you.

I wondered the same thing, as I will not knowingly ingest anything from China. WAY too risky. In reading the reviews, I found the answer. If you click on the 1 star reviews, so that it shows you ONLY those, and scroll down to the review by Gary Joseph, dated August 2014, he says he called the company and asked that question. ANSWER: CHINA. It seems many of their products are from China, which I guess explains the good prices. I'll grit my teeth and pay higher prices and stay away from supplements from China.

According to the Wisdom website, SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener is responsibly sourced from indigenous fields in South America and other areas around the globe. Stevia is native to South America. It's highly recommended to use organic stevia to avoid allergy issues, and but I trust both versions of SweetLeaf/Wisdom. Here's a link to get some background on the company http://www.sweetleaf.com/sweetleaf-story

From what I understand the supplier was changed. I believe the product I have was from before that and since I am a new user of stevia I cannot give an accurate comparison. Some of my friends say they like the KAL brand and the NOW brand, I have not tried either.

Once again, people are asking the wrong question. The question should be: Are any of the ingredients from outside the United States and, in particular, are any ingredients from China?

I understand for me too. I always read labels. I'm pretty sure are made in the USA, but for sure u may want to contact them directly. At the store I've been assured all their products are No GMO. I think I'd not had bought it if the product was made in China. I do not have the box anymore so I can not help u more.

I no longer have the box, but the recipe book/brochure was printed in China, so likely that is the country of origin for all of it. We live in an age of globalization and international trade benefits everyone.

I want to clarify that the primary sweetener is Maltodextrin. It is a starch and sugar free. Stevia is also used. We're in the process of having the label updated to reflect this and in the meantime wish to post our reply here to help eliminate any confusion. Sincerely,Ann Parker

That was also the deal breaker for me, and purportedly it is not. The bottle states: Manufactured by: Stevia Select, Fresno, Ca. www.steviaselect.com (916)-538-1466

I bought the Kal Pure Stevia one week ago, and when I compared the new bottle with the old one...what a deception. It says other ingredients: MALTODEXTRIN in it. The old one didn't have it, also it says PRODUCT FROM CHINA, I haven't trying don't get anything from china, specially FOOD due to the high contamination in their lands and seas; now Kal is producing there. Sorry for them, I have been a loyal costumer for about two year but not any more. I ll get some dry PURE stevia leafs instead (from south America).

Hi Angela. The manufacturer in Brazil is releasing a new product, Stevita SOUL, which is 100% stevia, nothing else added. Keep your eyes out, hopefully the US distributor will bring it in soon :)
