work for a bakery
majority of ingredients are imported
trump talks about tariffs and scares the company heads
I’ve been tasked with finding domestic alternatives to the products we use
already found a company that’s local to provide corn and potato starch
our old contract got starches from royal, in the Netherlands
starches are produced in the US
Obviously this is just an anecdote so take it with a grain of salt, but for me the tariffs have actually had a positive impact. We’re buying American now and it makes my job so much easier. I’m looking to buy xanthan gum now, if I can find an American company for that then I won’t have to do any business with Chinese companies and that will make my life so much easier.
