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

942 views

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?)

Sometimes the generic brand foods are just rebrands of the original. This happens in various industries including in grocery industry. For example ibuprofen is the name for an ingredient in Advil. Usually this happens after the patent runs out. If you go into a CVS or Walgreens you’ll see the generic version of Advil with a CVS or Walgreens brand name instead next to Advil.
