I'M NOT SURE THAT PRODUCE FROM MEXICO IS THAT SAFE CONSIDERING THE BACTERIAL PROBLEMS EMINATING FROM THERE. AS FOR OFF SEASON STUFF, I CAN DO WITHOUT IT. YOU CAN BUY PERUVIAN COFFEE.
In my case, I don't drink coffee anyway, so it makes no difference to me.

I've seen the news reports of Mexican produce and bacterial problems, too. I prefer not to buy it for the most part, but more because I dislike passing over our workers and farmers. But again, an import of superior quality I will buy. The bacteria problems are exceptions, and imports do get inspected. It's not foolproof, but it's some protection.
