Do they have food scientists just guessing and checking with taste testers? Or do they know the exact recipe somehow and just tweak it to avoid lawsuits? Or do big box stores require name brands to hand over their recipes as part of a contract to shelf their brand along with their own store brand? Do the name brands try to keep it a secret but they keep getting bested? I have no idea how this works.

So my dad (63 now) was a teenager, young adult when he worked at a butter factory in Canada. The butter bricks would go along the belt and get wrapped in their name brand packaging. When the packaging roll got to the end, he would change it over to the next roll. Apparently it wasn’t the same brand. He would just switch it over to different brands but the same butter bricks would be getting wrapped.
He is the biggest user of “no name” brand and just buying the cheapest product because he swears for the most part it’s all the same.
Except ketchup… he can taste the difference with ketchup so that’s something we were never allowed to cheap out on
