I was wondering how to determine if the maker of a food product actually
makes the product themselves or if they buy it from someone else, and just
has their label on it. If the label says "distributed by" does that mean it
is not made by company whose brand is on it, and that it is made by an other
company? There is a small local company that makes a lot of "condiment" type
products, and I wonder if they really would cook and package it all
themselves. I met the president of the company at a store by accident, and
asked him but he did not give me a clear answer.

Thanks

Tom
