These are made in California by Linear Systems. I can only presume if you want originals then buy through a distributor from Linear Systems.

As an example, here's a list of plants owned and operated by ST, Europe's largest semiconductor maker, with "official" headquarters in Switzerland:

Ready to sell semiconductors would have the assembly/packaging factory Country printed on the case (since that was the last significant operation), even if the actual chip inside was made elsewhere.

Many smaller semiconductor companies use third party test and packing companies, that you have never heard of. These are usually in SE Asian countries
Please no need to rev up the fake paranoia. Packaging and assembly in the Philippines is pretty standard the wafers are made in the LS fabs. This is all standard practice.
