I did not see Purina on the list. You did?

I was told that Purina is made 100% in USA.

I guess you don't know about the "updated" meaning of the term "Made in the USA".

As long as the final product is assembled in the US, it can be called "Made in the USA".

Foot - I know of a "US" company that imported completely finished office chairs, sent them through a warehouse where workers unpacked the chairs, slapped a new label on them, and repackaged them. The chairs were marketed as "Made in the USA".

I imagine that food products are very similar.

But what about the ingredients? Does Purina get any of them from China? Just asking, I don't know.
