Really? You wouldn't trust mussels from Canada?
LOL. Yes, I would. I trust Canadian food safety and sustainability regulations. I just don't buy seafood from third world countries, which is what is often sold cheap in grocery stores here.
My first choice is to buy meats, seafood and produce from as close to home as possible, but I'm fine with products from Canada and Mexico.
I would not buy mussels from China, even if that was all I could find at the store. I'd eat something else.
