Another reason (in addition to what others have said) is that sometimes it relates to timelines. For example, I know of a brand that requires vegetables to be processed within a certain amount of time of harvest to be sold fresh. If they don’t meet that timeline they’re frozen or canned. And there is a second time cutoff that if they are beyond that, they’ll be packaged as store brand instead of their own brand.
