Yes..that came out when WDJ left them off their 2008 list. Solid Gold did not want to say where their food was made which is now required in order to make the WDJ list. Later they disclosed where they now make it.
This is rather common...for small good companies to later outsource the "processing" of their foods to larger companies.
