Wasn't there a class action lawsuit a year or two ago asserting that Maille was Made in Canada but the labels led 60% of the people to believe it is Made in France.

I feel like whenever I see a previously foreign brand show up on the shelves of Costco, I know they sold out to some billon dollar conglomerate and taste and quality are never the same, e.g. Galbani Mascarpone - used to be difficult to find and was imported from Italy. Now you can find it at large retailers, says "No 1 in Italia," at times it is plastered with the Italian flag and is usually made by Lactalis, its parent company, in your regional production facilities. You can taste the difference.
