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

934 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?)

We co-pack for other firms as we have the equipment and capacity. The negotiated price determines the quality of ingredients. The recipe is also negotiated. I prefer to use my own recipe so that I can also sell the same product under our name. If it’s the client’s recipe, then I can’t without their permission (part of the original negotiation).
