Dr. Oetker Canada Ltd. is a subsidiary of Dr. August Oetker KG, a private, family-owned group headquartered in Bielefeld, Germany; the vendor's about page says it has 'remained a proudly family-owned business' since 1891, corroborated by Wikipedia. Did not check the German commercial register for the parent's cap table.

Frozen pizza (Giuseppe, Ristorante, Casa di Mama, Suprema; 51 of 76 catalogue items) is made in Canada: the Casa di Mama product page states 'Made in Canada from domestic and imported ingredients,' and Dr. Oetker built a dedicated London, Ontario pizza plant in 2011 alongside the older Mississauga factory where Shirriff has been made since Dr. Oetker acquired it in 1992. Core Dr. Oetker-branded baking items (vanilla sugar, gelatin, pudding mix) carry a 'European Quality' tag with no explicit made-in claim, so a small EU share is assumed for those.

The vendor confirms pizza is made from 'domestic and imported ingredients' without a country breakdown; dairy and wheat in the crust and cheese are assumed Canadian, while tomato products, specialty meats, cocoa and vanilla in the dessert and baking-mix lines are assumed partly imported. The split is an estimate, not a published figure.
