Is it true that a major kosher line, Shufra, sold cocoa this year from China with no mashgiach in the factory?

Spelling correction: "determine".

We bought Haddar's but cannot use it because it tastes disgusting.

It is so bad that I wonder if we can call them ganovim for selling such substandard garbage.

We also bought Nesquick under Chug Chasam Sofer BB for our 4 year old. Even though it has an odd consistency that does not dissolve, our little one still drinks it. We did hear others complaining that their older kids won't drink it because it tastes "like sawdust".
