I stopped buying it immediately. Read labels carefully before you trust anything anyone says or "recommends", especially when you are trying to feed your family the best things you can. We have plenty of organic broccoli farmers right here in the USA. **** Thanks for the reminder. I have to remember to check the "country of origin" on Costco's organic vegetables more often, because it changes. The broccoli in my freezer says Ecuador and the green beans are grown in the USA.

I went to my local Costco today and was astonished to learn that it has been discontinued. The manager told me to email Costco, which I did, and I would urge others who like this wonderful product to do the same.

Most pesticides get into the roots of the plant once they sink into the soil ,and will get into the inside of the fruit/vegetable. Taking the peel off doesn't really do anything at all.

That was brought out earlier this year when frozen veggies at Whole Foods labelled "organic" were actually from China. Also, the Costco near me now has organic whole milk. It is "fortified" with fish oil, though. I bought it without realizing it. Couldn't taste it but the idea kind of gives me the creeps. I am supportive of fish oil just not in my milk!

I've been buying it for over a year now. I know ketchup isn’t the most healthy food because of the processing, but Costco has Heinz Organic Ketchup most of the time.

Almost half the price that I would have paid at the grocery store. I purchased Cascadian Farms frozen mixed berries and Pacific Meadows frozen blueberries.

I would not buy organic products from China and would rather consume non-organic US prodcuts. Whose to know that these products from China are inspected on a regular basis to meet standards?
