(verified by company 3/25/07) Brands include Origen and Acana Own and operate their own production facilities in Morinville, Alberta, Canada They make their own foods exclusively - their mandate is to produce world-class foods from fresh regional ingredients. That means almost all of their ingredients (over 90% for ORIJEN) are raised, fished or farmed within western Canada. Only imported ingredients are lamb from New Zealand and rice from California - these are used in their ACANA brand foods. They do not, and never have, had their brands produced or co-packed by any other pet food producer. They do not use glutens or other vegetable proteins in any of their foods. ORIJEN and ACANA foods are not on any recall list.
