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?)

I work for a sugar manufacturer. We package their sugar, comes out of the same bin,on the same equipment, same employees as the name brand sugar. But it gets sugar out the door and still makes the company money.
