Nothing on package or website notes the country of origin. It only says product is processed in the mill in Oregon. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer

I don't think so, I believe the seeds originally came from the Mayan culture. ..

Just checked the packaging and it does not indicate the source. My understanding is, with the FDA, and the FTC, and whatever other bureaucracy manages this, that the source need only be indicated if it is not the U.S. If I am incorrect in that regard, I would welcome the correction.

Mine came from China. I am not going to grow these, do not want to contribute to any more alien invasive plants.

Hi Jenny, Even though our chia seeds are technically non GMO and gluten free, we do not advertise our products as being non GMO or gluten free. Thanks, Healthworks

I don't think so. The recent recall was for dry sprouted chia seed powder in Canada. These are whole seeds; not sprouted or powder.

Chia seeds last a very long time! I store mine in air tight containers in a cool, dark pantry.

The seed in this product is grown in Ecuador and is specially selected by me personally. With over 30 years of organic production experience, I personally manage our organic farming operations in Ecuador. The organic growing methods we use are the most advanced and cutting edge techniques and materials (all vegan) known in the world. We have an ongoing on-farm research program that is dedicated to continuously discovering new ways to optimize soil fertility and produce the most nutritionally abundant chia seeds in the world. Thank you for asking.

I'm not sure. The ingredients list states: Nothing but all natural chia seed. It also states, "we grow it naturally in the unique environment of the Kimberley region of Western Australia, exactly 15 degrees from the Equator to produce only the best quality chia."

The Chia seeds that I purchased contained no foreign matter. They were delicious and I have used them in baking, cooking and in oatmeal. I bought the 4 pack and gave 2 bags away to friends and kept the other 2 for myself. I am on my second bag and have found no problem and will buy it again.

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.

"Chia seeds come in two colors: black and white. While white seeds are rarer than black seeds, there is no significant nutritional difference between the two. White seeds are often more expensive because of their rarity, but some people prefer them because of aesthetic reasons." http://library.hidalgofoods.com/?p=308

I did not experience anything but seeds in my bag of Bob's Red Mill Chia. I take a scoop of them every day and have tried several types.

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.

I noticed other answers. Those are distributors/sellers. It only mentions that it's processed in a plant that processes your typical allergens (nuts, etc.) and it does not say where it is manufactured. I have heard NOW does use China, but best to contact them.

I bought this fully believing it was American grown. When I recieved it it said right on the front that it was from China. I wrote for a refund but not quick enough, so never got my money back. I threw it in the trash and would not use it. Sorry I don't know the specific answer to your question.
