Manufacturing
68.5 reportedCA 70% · other 15% · US 15%
A sampled Western Family product listing on saveonfoods.com carried 35 'Product of Canada' and 17 'Made in Canada' declarations across dozens of SKUs (oats, bread, honey, maple syrup, evaporated milk, margarine) and zero US-origin claims. Pattison also runs its own in-house bakery and produce/juice production. As a 2,800-plus SKU private label, some categories (disposable plasticware, allergy remedy, tropical-fruit drinks) are likely co-packed outside Canada, so the mix is not 100% CA.

Inputs
56.5 inferredCA 55% · other 30% · US 15%
Core grocery lines (oats, wheat bread, dairy, honey, maple syrup) name Canadian-grown inputs, but the range also spans tropical-fruit drinks (mango juice, coconut water), gummy candy and an allergy remedy whose raw materials are not Canadian-grown. No ingredient-sourcing breakdown was published, so this split is estimated from the product mix rather than a vendor figure.
