I buy canned chicken breast all the time, I like it better than tuna.
Canned chicken also costs about 1/3 the price of tuna and it doesn't
have that mercury issue.
Walmart sells Swanson brand, a Campbell Soup company.
BJs sells their own brand; Berkley & Jensen.
Both cans say "Made in the U.S.A."
Both cans have the seal "Inspected by USDA".
Did it contain chicken from China it would be canned in China and the
label would say so, like it does with many canned foods, ie.
mushrooms. The US doesn't import live chickens for food, they'd need
to be held in quarantine for about a month, then a can of chicken
would cost like $100 or more. The US raises more chicken than people
can eat... if anything the US exports canned chicken. The only
chicken from China I know of is in some crummy brands of pet food.
