A lot of food products are like that. You can send the same produce to the
same same plant with the same assembly line and the same people working on
them, and the only thing different is the label that goes on at the end of
the line. There is a local fruit processing plant owned my a large
multinational. I have never seen the parent company's name on any of the
canned goods they produce, but they do can for other major corporations.
The father of a friend of mine had a small pop bottling company with their
own brand name. I was surprised to see that, in addition to a special brand
for a local convenience store chain, they were also bottling a national brand
of ginger ale.
