Joan,

Costco also has a wide variety of food, consumer products, etc... under their brand. I've picked up a few and the quality doesn't seem bad.

To be honest, for the first time I am mildly concerned about generic competition because it appears that the retailers are shifting some of the power in their direction.

Do you know any more details about the manufacturing?

Wayne
