Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

Vendor's brand story credits founder Joseph Vitale (1989) and its statutory forced-labour supply chain report names Italpasta Limited as the controlling entity of subsidiary Grisspasta Products Ltd. with no parent above it. Corporations Canada's federal registry returned no match, so it is provincial; the Ontario Business Registry blocks automated lookups and could not be checked, so no registry-verified shareholder confirmation was found.

Vendor repeatedly states its pasta uses 100% Canadian durum semolina, and its director of manufacturing operations describes the product as made from just durum semolina and water. Ingredient list also carries niacin, ferrous sulphate, thiamin, riboflavin, and folic acid fortificants whose origin is not stated, so a small share is allocated to OTHER.
