The box says its made in the USA. The CAT number is 383 3951. A few weeks back I saw a report that Kodak had recently updated Gold 200 with a claim to give improved colours and provide better scans. I am not sure whether these 3 films are of the new type but I am pleased with the results and will be using more.
