Well according to 14/7 Wall St.com... All Of Them!

FYI:

Although one may not think it, 'Grey Poupon' mustard is made right here in the Lehigh Valley at the Kraft Foods plant in Upper Macungie.

The seeds are grown in Canada then brought down here. The seeds are then ground separating the shells ending up as mustard flour. This is done in-house at the L.V. facility.

The entire process is supervised by a rabbi to ensure the product is 100% kosher.

It is considered to be a 'Dijon' mustard because a small amount of wine is added. The wine is distilled in upstate New York under a rabbi's supervision to insure it too is kosher. There are several types of mustard products made in the L.V.. Regular, brown, honey and horseradish mustard. The difference between the brown and regular is some of the mustard shells are added back into the mixture. Kraft L.V. then packages it in two different size jars and a plastic squeeze bottle for retail as well as 5 gallon pails and 2,000lb totes.

People tend to confuse this product as being a product of France. This is most likely because it was first blended by Maurice Grey & Auguste Poupon in Dijon, France back in the latter half of the 1800's.

Kraft Foods acquired it back in 1999 when it purchased Nabisco. Previously both Kraft and Nabisco were split off as separate companies from R.J Reynolds who bought the mustard brand from the Heublein Company which acquired the American rights for it back in 1946.
