Reese's plant-based peanut butter cups - found this year, and the tiny bites brought me back to childhood (b/c I can't eat the regular version anymore, but these are as good, if not better, than the original)...

But not all of them are made in America. Hershey's closed their plant near here in 2008 and moved production to Mexico.

The box says US as I look at it...specialty and allergy friendly candy tend to be the type made here. I know most big candy companies outsource their "holiday candy" to a Columbus, OH plant (I've done their tour). Surprised me, but made sense, b/c the lines aren't built for bunnies/ghosts/eggs at the big guys, so they need a small plant to do specialty runs...

Anthony-Thomas is the factory...and according to my kids, their own in-house candy is great (I just can't have most of that)...

Wow... I forgot about this... kettle brand chips out of Oregon and Wisconsin send a lot of products to Canada... flavors that you can not purchase here in the states... and you know how Canadian loves them Bizzaro flavors... I will have to ask them tomorrow...80% of our volunteer are Canadian

Your best made in America products/companies recommendations amid the trade war with Canada?

I don't know. So many things are multi-national. It's "complicated" as some like to say.

My Maple syrup says it is a produce of Canada and the United States.
My tomatoes......same brand......are sometimes a product of Canada and some times a product of United States depending on the time of year.
My Ford Flex was assembled in Canada using an engine made in Lima, Ohio , a transmission made in Detroit, tires made in Akron, Ohio.
So how would they apply tariffs to my Maple Syrup? Do they stop using Canadian Maple syrup to avoid tariffs? What if it is a mix of Canadian and U.S. maple syrup, does the tariff get cut in half?

This is an odd product to be considered allergy friendly as they still contain peanuts, a HUGE allergen.

But they still have Mexican manufacturing for sale in the US.

That's not the plant based one...that's the normal milk chocolate one. Plant based are the ones made here. Their label does not have the "Manufactured in Mexico" info - instead it's US.

Yeah, but it's allergy free for everything else (okay, except soy, too)...and vegan. Lots of folks can eat peanuts, but don't/can't eat milk. Like me.

When my grandmother was a seamstress she told me about how her shop would actually receive clothes made overseas and labels that said "Made in the USA" were then sewed into those items before sending out to various merchants (like Lord and Taylor, Macy's, etc).

Same. And that's where my summer travel dollars are going this year. If they'll let us in.

I usually like to travel really light and don't pick up too much in the way of souvenirs, but this time I'll be bringing an empty suitcase and hope to be able to find lots of cool Canadian products to use for this year's Xmas gifts too.

Peanut allergies sure seem to get a lot more attention. I had a medical procedure done a few weeks ago and my wife packed a peanut butter sandwich for lunch while she waited. She went outside to eat it because she was concerned someone in the waiting area might have an allergy.
