There almost needs to be another item in that list that is "Made in Canada by Canadians, with Canadian ingredients, but the company is not Canadian-owned" - i.e. Canadian Lay's chips are 100% made in Canada, so they get to put that label on their products, but the money still goes to PepsiCo.

It's still great that the supply chain is in Canada, though. Of course, there could still be better options.

I agree with you, though - the Buy Beaver app actually breaks it down by manufacturing location, materials/ingredients and ownership, which is great. Although, I do question some of the user-provided ratings in the app, it's a good start.
