After noticing this I asked the tour guide what was going on and was unable to get a straight answer.

So some one needs to do a study based on taste and texture comparrison of expensive brands versus home brands and interview the “higher-ups” of these companies to get a real result.

So then if you like Watties Baked Beans and it was found Watties was the actual supplier of Pams, then that fact could be published on the website.
Sometimes the savings on house brands is not worth the crap product inside, but other times you are getting quality product that we all love at a really reduced price in an ordinary wrapper
