Does your company get this Stevia from China? If not, then where?

I can not answer that because I am a customer not the company that sales stevia

The product package does not indicate the country this stevia comes from which is a little strange but we are very pleased with the taste and apparent good quality of this stevia.The bulksupplements.com website might offer the information you seek.

In response to my email inquiry, Mood and Mind company rep says its stevia is grown in South America and packaged in China. The China connection that I am finding with every brand of stevia (that I've checked so far) is enough to make me go back to sugar or do without. I think the China connection is stevia's dirty little secret that none of the manufacturers seem to be very upfront about. Disheartening.

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.

Bernita is correct, it's from China like 90% of all supplements are. But BulkSupplements has a third party (lab) that test the product for purity.

Per Halo comment: The company writes "we are not ordering new products at this time..." So is this just a packaging facility? Where does their "product" ship from, I'm hoping not China. I was just about to order MSM but will hold off until I can find out. Haven't forgotten the pet food fiasco yet.

Nancy: I just noticed on the canister I have it says "product of China", yet the company is located in Sun Valley, California, so your guess is as good as mine. I do intend to send an e-mail to the company for further information.

No, it does not come from China, but what difference does it make? The primary ingredient is erythritol which is chemically produced from GMO corn...that fact should have as much or even more concern for consumers.

I am not sure since I don't have the packaging anymore. But I know they come from a UK company and I do try to buy stuff that does not come from China. We love them and I will be buying more.

The packets do not look like that. They have "YES!" on the front and say Stevia Sweetner. I assume it is the same, but not sure. After I use up 1,000 packets, I will buy at Target or WallMart.

The company is in Utah, but the package it came in said China. That said, it seems very well made and works well.

We just called the company. According to their customer service rep, this stevia has ALWAYS had maltodextrin in it. He said that it's just residue from the machinery. He refused to comment on why they're suddenly including it on their labels or why their label used to guarantee no additional ingredients if it had maltodextrin. Then he invited us to buy from someone else if we don't like it. So we are.

I am not the supplier or the one who placed the AD but when I ordered from this supplier I did not get the product pictured but another what I would call generic stevia not the branded product pictured. BEWARE!

The Stevia plant is grown in China but the products are manufactured mostly in California. I have been using this for years and found it to be the only stevia that is not bitter and does not give me stomach aches. The company does a lot of lab testing and does their due diligence.

I want to know this, too. I've been buying pure stevia powder from Vitamin Shoppe so I'm wondering if there will be a difference from what I'm used to. How can this stuff seem so much sweeter?

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 :)

I don't think so. I know it grows in South America. The container says it's distributed by Stevita Co. Inc. of Arlington, Texas. There is another blurb on it which says "Stevita Stevia brand... In the Brazilian market since 1988.
