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.
Fortunate or un-That's capitalism. I remember when Bartering was big and we didn't have to worry about LRG Companies. Long time ago (with the loss of Farmers). Products needing to go somewhere (cool) Not from here (Not Cool). It's the old saying "It wasn't broke but somebody-TOO many body" had to fix it.
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.
Not true. Walmart full synthetic is made by Warren. The Warren stamp is on the bottom of the container.
Actually Quaker State may distribute Super Tech, but the manufacturer of all of Quaker State oil is a company named Sopus Products. They also manufacture Pennzoil, Shell Oil (all brands), and Rotella T. For the record if your oil of choice is Valvoline, you can purchase NAPA store brand for less and get the same oil since they are both manufactured by Ashland Oil.
Pennzoil, Walmart, Valvoline, Quaker State and a few others are actually made by a Company located in Omaha, Nebraska called Warren Industries. They only difference between them is the packaging and additives added to each brand. I worked there as a temporary associate for a few days.
All you need to do is Google the spec sheet for a brand of oil....my dad distributes oil and grease and I've got to say most of it is branded differently but made by the same players...I like Parts Master at Autovalue. Cheap cheap stuff but read the spec sheet...
Can anyone tell me who makes Presidents Choice Infant Formula? I was told it was actually made by one of the name brands.

Can anyone tell me who makes Presidents Choice Infant Formula? I was told it was actually made by one of the name brands.
Hello Rebbecca, I don't know who makes it, what I do know is that a friend of mine that is pharmacy school and will graduate in one year, used walmart's brand of baby formula for both of his amazingly smart infants. He told me that ALL infant formulas are basically the same, that they MUST meet federal requirements. my grandchildren are breastfed, but occasionally, when my working daughter doesn't pump enough milk for the babysitter, they use walmart formula. All of my eight grandchildren are healthy and smart after being breastfed and using store brand formula.
can you tell me what they,ve done to the( great value ) coffee creamer brand??? i,ve used this brand for 10 yrs, atleast, in the past 3 months, its changed it doesnt make your coffee light any more, & i havent changed my coffee brand so i blame it on the creamer, now i have to put 6 teaspoons of it in my coffee, have they taken something out""

Recently my associates and I taste tested peanut butters. The group conclusion was the Target product was most preferred. Who manufactures this product for Target?
Several years ago, I went on a tour at Anderson's Pretzel factory in Pennsylvania. They make pretzels for many different companys, including Slim Fast.
I work for a trucking company that does a lot of loads for many companies and I've learned over the years that many store brand items are indeed made by name brand manufacturers but packaged in "cheaper" formats. For those of you that are asking who makes Wal-Mart's creamers, many of them are made by HP Hood in Winchester, VA. Sam's Choice Sodas are made by Cott Beverages. Most store brand vegetable oils are made by Lou Ana, a division of Ventura Foods. Ventura also manufactures Hidden Valley Ranch dressings, as well as the store brand versions sold in Wal-Mart, Aldi, Target, Winn Dixie and most grocery stores. Benson's Bakery as well as HC Brill make most "Grocery Store Cakes" that you see in the round containers in the bakery sections of grocery stores.

The Flowers Bakery makes a lot of store brand breads. The store brand bread for Walmart and Ingles is the exact same as Nature's Own except the store brands have thinner bags. This is at least true in the Southeastern portion of the country.
Autozone motor oil is made by exxon; so same oil, different bottle.
Who makes the Market Pantry ice cream for Target?
I used to be an Estee Lauder Beauty Associate. I found out that J.A.N.E. cosmetics is under the Estee Lauder brand. JANE can be found at drug stores and places like Walmart and even some grocery stores. I use their eye shadows, and lip gloss. Decent product for the price.
Target brand version of ensure is the same thing so ensure is 3 dollars more then target brand and same thing and same exact bottle also walmarts brand in can is same as ensure to
Who makes Great Value Parboiled Rice?
Kraft makes all of the cheese for Kroger stores. Not sure about other dairy items like yogurt.

As for Kroger cheese, all you have to do is go to Kroger's wikipedia page to know that claim is blatantly false... Kroger employs hundreds of companys to manufacture their own private labels and build their store brands. I love how people "hear something" then decide it is true, then run with it. You've heard of Google, right?
