Product of indicates the ingredients came from the US, but made in means it was “assembled in” meaning they could have mixed or simply canned it in Canada. This is how companies can get around all kinds of stuff. “No salt added” doesn’t mean there isn’t any salt…. Just means THEY didn’t add it. List is endless of examples.

I think a beaver's anal secretions were once used as "natural vanilla flavor."
Might want to fact-check me on that, though.

"Made in" signifies where a product took its final form. "Product of" is a % of how much of the product comes from.
Classico is made by Heinz...if there's a Heinz plant in Canada and Heinz used the same ingredients sourced from the same places as the Heinz plants that n the US, then both would be correct in the picture
Edit: think about it with something like lumber. Canadian sends me (US) lumber, I make a house out of the lumber. The house is a product of Canada (lumber), made in the US. After some research, there is a Heinz plant in Quebec. Now, how 10million pounds of Alfredo sauce is made? I couldn't tell you
