How does Kroger (and other large grocery chains) make all of its generic brand food?

Question

Kroger has a generic branded version of pretty much everything in their store. How do they make all of it? There are different recipes, molds, and entirely different production processes for most of this stuff. Do they buy each product off of someone else and put on their own packaging, or do they really make it all themselves? (And if so, where are all these factories?)

Answer 1

For non food items (paper products, disinfecting wipes etc) there are private labelers who make products for other companies. I know that WalMart, Sams Club, Costco, Target, Wegmans and I am sure others all use the same private labeler for their generic disinfecting wipes (Clorox wipes).
