Does everyone know that RAGU actually makes Wal-Mart brand spaghetti sauce for $1.00 a jar (it's very good)! And with the recent recall of Peter Pan peanut butter, it became apparent that PP makes Wal-Mart's peanut butter also. Do people have other info about specific products, store brands and who makes them?
The Target brand diapers are Pampers at least they used to be, i still think they are though. Most mac and cheese is produced in the same factory and packaged differently. And Thermasilk by Helen Curtis is made by Suave. If you want to find out more research the companies on the label try to find the parent company then you will know. I studied marketing in college and most companies will make the same product and sell it differently some to big fancy stores and some to dollar stores. Either way they make a buck. Check out this link for more info on branding.

Both my husband & I'm sure that Target's Market Pantry Salsa is the same as Pace Picante Sauce, which we totally adore.
At Walmart, McCormick makes the Store Brand Spices; you will save so much by purchasing the store brand spices. My daughter was a Walmart Associate in the grocery department when she was in college.
Can anyone tell me who supplies Walmart's "Great Value" Hazelnut Coffee Creamer?
Thanks
We are regular shoppers in Krogers and several years ago, up popped kroger Mayonnaise on the shelf "Made by Hellmans." After a couple weeks the "made by Hellmans" disappeared and it was just Krogers Mayonnaise. I recently purchased some Hellmans that was on sale, took it home and compared it. I sure couldn't tell the difference. They tasted identical to me.
My next-door neighbor's son is a Mobil oil distributor, he says Wal Mart's store brand full synthetic motor oil is the same as Mobil 1. The difference in price is about $4 per quart. I don't know about the other store brand motor oils Wal Mart sells, just the full synthetic.
Can anyone tell me who makes Presidents Choice Infant Formula? I was told it was actually made by one of the name brands.
Who makes Walmart ice cream?
Great Value is Walmart Ice Cream's brand but it is made by Wells Dairy. Here is the history:

Walmart does not always stay/stick with the same company for their Great Value products as companies are allowed to bid every so often (1-5 years) but their Great Value ice cream is an exception.
Who makes their brands, specifically soups and broth?
One of Safeway's brand distributors is by far the largest known. It is Lucerne Foods. This is one of the store brand manufactures for Safeway. The rest of the store brands are manufactured at the same manufacturing company as other store brands use. They are called Store brand manufacturers. They are companies that large chain supermarkets go to to have their private labels added on cans of food.
In truth, there are thousands of companies that have hundreds of different categories for large chain stores to select from. The market selects it's product and the manufacture will add the label to this product and send it off to the store. So you see these are also generic store brand manufactures.
So if you buy one generic brand from Safeway, it is possible if you go to Vons and buy their generic brand they both come from the same Store brand manufacture. Only the labels added to the can are unique and the food in the can is the same for everyone who orders from them.
Who is the maker of Walmart labeled butter?
Here is a quoted answer but I believe the products will have different product codes in different parts of the country as it is common with almost all Walmart products to have several distributors. Walmart works on contracts and these can expire (and not be renewed) and a different company chosen.
"According to the dairy code, it is made at California Dairies, Inc. - Visalia. According to the code 06-17652, that is where it's made. Most dairy products have the code somewhere on the package, including milk. Go and find where all your dairy products are from, regardless of which brand you purchase. You'll be surprised to find some of the "no-name" brands are products of the leading dairies."
