      Store brands are often made in the same factories and on the same production lines. The differences can be truly negligible.

        True, but in many cases the product is graded by quality. And the low quality graded product goes in the more generic labeled packaging. This doesn’t matter for something like flour or baking soda, but open a can of green beans and compare.

        Stores like Trader Joe’s differ from this by specializing in rebranding overstock or by ordering additional run instead of buying cast offs. So you’ll often get goood quality from their store brand merchandise.

      I have had enough times in which this was not the case, so dispute the percentage. But this can be the case, yes.
