Stubb's Original Barbecue Sauce
The McCormick product title is an 18 oz bottle. The copy names a tangy mix of tomato, vinegar, molasses, and black pepper, and stops there. No full ingredient panel is on the page.
McCormick bought the Austin, Texas company that sold Stubb's on 20 August 2015, for about $100 million. An SEC note records $99.4 million. The story page puts the first Lubbock restaurant in 1968.
Nothing on those pages names a Canadian bottling plant. The grocery line started in 1992 with Original and Spicy. This is the Original.

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.
