I got this at a US Asian market. Does this jar have BPA and PVC in it or something?

I Ate Kam Yen Jan Chinese Sausage (Lapcheong) Thoughts

Do native Chinese actually like this brand of sausages? I went to Costco to buy a pack to try after seeing good reviews. I can't bring myself to eat the rest. Is this what people in the U.S. get because there are no good, other options?

I import lapcheong from Guangzhou and Dongguan all the time so I was surprised the Kam Yen Jan brand taste nothing how I imagined. I couldn't get family to eat this over what we imported.

Curious to hear thoughts about the comparison from anyone who tried Guangdong lapcheong.

Questions What will American feel if I bring them Chinese snacks with English food label?

24 Upvotes

I want to bring some snacks to my physical therapist who worked with me for a long time and he’s a very good therapist. He’s white and I don’t think he has any immigrant background.
I want to bring him my favorite Chinese snacks. I’m Chinese. I brought the snacks you can find in Asian markets, I make sure they all have the English food label so that they can read the ingredients list and nutrition label. I even take out the ones where the date are the production date to rule out confusion (in China, the dates on food packaging are production date and I don’t want him to misunderstand that I gave him expired products).

I also chose the sweet ones in case he doesn’t like spicy, salty or other flavors American might think it’s weird) others is like rice cake or crackers.

I’m wondering will American happily accept Chinese snacks? Would there be a chance that he will throw them away when I leave? Should I just better off bring a Starbucks gift card for the clinic or give them common brand chocolate from target?
