I have no idea who packages the product for them, or where. I agree it is a very good product.

I found a tub of Red Button black licorice flavored ice cream last month. Oh my! I dare not buy another.

Before my recent retirement, we packaged sugar for Associated Foods under the Western Family label. Western Family, Kroger, Winco,and Albertsons/ were our four biggest customers of 25#, 10#, & 4# granulated, 1# and 2# powder, and 1# & 2# light and dark brown sugar.

All of that Western Family product is now packaged in Food Club bags.
