Catelli Classic Penne Rigate
Short, ridged tubes in two grocery box sizes. Durum wheat semolina is the only ingredient listed. The Non-GMO Project mark is on this classic cut too.
Catelli Montreal, Inc. makes this pasta in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The parent is a family firm founded in Parma, Italy in 1877. Classic pages still skip the wheat's country of origin.
Ridges and a hollow centre are meant to hold sauce. The brand site points to casseroles and pasta salads as well as sauced plates. Egg pasta shares the production equipment.

Strong Canadian ties
Company’s own label claim: “Fait au Canada”
Catelli Classic Penne Rigate is packed as a Montreal-made Catelli cut. Italian Barilla is the owner. Wheat origin is not named on the classic pages, so this is Canadian-made pasta under foreign ownership.
Score breakdown (66% evidenced, high confidence)

This score is our own read of publicly available evidence, not a regulatory finding. It is not a CFIA or Competition Bureau origin determination, and it is not the same as the "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" claims a manufacturer prints on a label.
