Glancing at the pantry shelf

Here are just a few of the items in my pantry that do display "Made in the USA" or "Product of USA":
Flavorite Raisins -- Distributed by Supervalue Inc., Eden Prairie, MN 55344 USA, Product of USA.
Kroger Pure Canola Oil -- Distributed by the Kroger Co., Cincinnati, OH 45202, Made in USA.
Blue Diamond Almonds -- From California, Packed by Blue Diamond Growers, Sacramento, CA 95812 USA. (Does saying "From California" mean they were grown there?)
Rapid Instant Rice -- Distributed by Save-A-Lot Food Stores Inc, Earth City, MO 63045, Product of USA.
Budweiser Wing Sauce -- Manufactured by Vita Specialty Foods, Inwood WV 25428, Product of USA.
The Pampered Chef Basil Blend Canola Oil -- Manufactured for The Pampered Chef, Addison, IL 60101-5630, USA, Made in USA.
County Market Honey Grahams -- Distributed by Supervalu Inc., Eden Prairie, MN 55344 USA, Product of USA.
Kroger Lite Pears Sliced in Pear Juce from Concentrate -- Distributed by the Kroger Co., Cincinnati, OH 45202, Made in USA.

And . . . a few items that do not bear the "Made in USA" or "Product of USA" stamp:
Kroger Lite Chunky Mixed Fruit in Pear Juice from Concentrate -- Distributed by the Kroger Co., Cincinnati, OH 45202.
Kroger Lite Yellow Cling Peaches Sliced in Pear Juice from Concentrate and Water -- Distributed by the Kroger Co., Cincinnati, OH 45202.

Peter Pan Crunchy Peanut Butter -- ConAgra Foods, Inc. Omaha, NE 68103-0768 USA.
Jello Fat Free Chocolate Fudge Sugar Free Instant Pudding -- Kraft Foods, Inc. Rye Brook, NY 10573 USA.

I'm going to try and contact some of the companies above and ask where the products come from.

  1. Good question. We have some almond "milk" "distributed by Blue Diamond Growers, Sacramento, CA. Tastes like water -- hallmark of Chinese packagers who cut product ingredients in 1/2 to drive profits. It was from from EarthFare. Also had DollarGeneral shoe polish (brown water) and 42 foot rope I think it was which was only 40.5 feet. Figures.
