Question: Where does Aldi get the ingredients for their private label items and where do they make the food?
All of the Aldi-brand food we’ve bought from the store says on the label/package that it is distributed by Aldi, Inc. in Batavia, IL. Some of the items say “made in Canada” or “made in USA”but many of them don’t. Why isn’t it listed where they were made?
Answer:
Answer by Cupcake’s Princess
Most generic and private-label food are made at the same plants that make name-brand items–they are simply packaged differently. They could be made anywhere. Since there is no requirement for labeling where the packaging plant is, it is usually not provided on most labels.
Question: Do you prefer buying stuff that shows a label that says “proudly made in the USA” over other?

Question: Couldn’t the Chinese tire factories simply relocate to Saipan so they can use the “Made in the USA” label?
“[T]he Marianas, a US territory in the Pacific that Congress exempted from the U.S. minimum wage and immigration laws. The islands are home to Chinese-owned factories, where low-wage workers were imported from China and the Philippines and forced into slave labor conditions, living in squalid shacks behind barbed wire, to produce “Made in the USA” goods. As pressure built in the mid-1990s for a bill to impose U.S. laws on the islands, Abramoff was pitching his client-the government of the Marianas-as a regulation-free paradise and taking lawmakers, including Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX), there on luxury junkets. “Capitol Crimes” lays out how Abramoff’s influence with DeLay kept reform legislation from ever being debated on the floor of the House. Former Senator Frank Murkowski (R-AK), who sponsored legislation after seeing the appalling working conditions in the Marianas first hand, asks: “How could we have, in the United States, working conditions like this under the U.S. flag?”
