Is There A Difference Between Name Brand And Generic Canned Goods?
BY PEGGY AOKI
While name-brand and generic canned goods may have different price points, they both come directly from the same packing and processing plants.
By putting the store's name directly on the can label, the grocery stands behind what's inside, ensuring you get high-quality food at an affordable price.
Name-brand items are more expensive not only because advertisement budgets drive up the cost, but also because groceries increase the price for a healthier profit margin.
Generally, generic items are the same but cheaper. However, proprietary information, like secret recipes, likely won’t be shared, so the generic option won’t taste the same.
