There are very sensitive indicator drops used for identifying ceramic glazes containing lead on antique porcelain.

There are also handheld scanners that cost more than a car. And yes, people in the community scan every imported toy and or food item they see to start the FDA ban process when necessary. Should buy local when you can anyway. =3

Tumeric isn't something grown locally in most places. And for powder you are pretty much always getting imports.

I think you mean it isn't unrealistically cheap locally, or from reputable certified organic farmers.

Have a great day =3

No I mean it isn't grown locally for sale at all.
