i don't think the current situation is even that good, they're not repackaging themselves they just straight up ship in the small flour bags all the way from the factory.

My assumption is that they get milled at one place, shipped in big bags to another factory to package it into smaller bags, then shipped to supermarkets (probably after being shipped to a distribution centre).
