How do store brands get so close to name brand?

1.58K views

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.

It’s usually the same food made in the same factory with different packaging.

I worked in a pineapple cannery and the cans were all unlabeled until the order was received. The cans were taken out of the storage warehousr and one of 50 different labels were glued on the can. It’s all the same fruit.
