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.

People sometimes try to sleuth out what name brands make specific store brands. Sometimes, there’s something like a recall where, for safety reasons, they have to just say it. A few years ago, I remember there was a recall on frozen taquitos or something like that, and it included Aldi store brands as well as major name brands, and maybe some supermarket store brands too. So you could infer that all these products, or at least some key ingredient in them, must have come from a common supplier, whether the product recipes are identical or just similar.
