Question 1

What country does this xylitol come from?

Accepted Answer

This brand is made in China.  There are other brands that are made in USA, which usually has a $10-$15 premium on the China made brands for a 5 lb bag.Here's a list of xylitol products made in the USA (with exception of one, made in Finland):Durelife xylitolmanufactured and packaged in the USA from 100% pure USA birchHealth Garden Xylitol100% birch xylitol made in USAMorning Pep Xylitol100% pure birch sweetener made in USAReal Birch xylitol100% USA-made from sustainably harvested birch treesSmart Sweetfrom organic hardwood, not corn - GMO free, USAUSA Birch Xylitol made from 100% North American birchXylobrit"predominantly from Finnish Beech and Birch hardwood"Xyladerived from 100% North American hardwoodZveet BirchXylitol made in USASource: http://www.healingteethnaturally.com/buying-best-non-gmo-xylitol-sugar.html

Question 2

What is the source for this, corn or birch?  Where was this manufactured?

Accepted Answer

I am allergic to corn and was using this For my teeth. At first it was ok and my teeth were looking better but after a while my lips started to get dry and burn when I swished it. My tongue started getting sores and my face would itch . I don’t recommend xylitol from corn if you are allergic even if the manufacturer says it won’t cause an allergic reaction.

Question 3

What country is this produced in?

Accepted Answer

Raw materials definitely from China (I asked Xlear Customer Service); just the packaging is done in USA

Question 4

Is this a 5 pound bag or a 3.4 pound bag?  The 5 pounds is how it is labeled to be sold?

Accepted Answer

This question of weight is coming up because under the Product Description: Amazon has the Shipping Weight as only 3.4 pounds.  That is just incorrect and they need to fix that.   Everything else says it's a 5 lb package.   "Product Dimensions: 7.2 x 3.5 x 11.5 inches ; 5.2 poundsShipping Weight: 3.4 pounds"
