A statement about where a finished food is made does not necessarily describe the origin of every ingredient. Treat manufacturing location and ingredient sourcing as separate questions.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Finished food | Record the exact origin claim. |
| Ingredients | Ask which sourcing details are available. |
| Version | Attach the answer to a recipe and date. |

A practical example
A reply naming the factory country may leave ingredient-origin questions unanswered. Note that gap explicitly.
Before you decide
Do not expand a narrow origin statement into an all-ingredients claim.
