What EXACTLY is the difference between name brand food products and store brands?!
Answers:
I work in a pharmacy and know all about generic vs!. brand name drugs!.!. the same concept applies with packaged food!.
According to the FDA, generics work in the exact same way as the store brand, are broken down by the body the exact same way, have the exact same effect on your body, and are used by your body the same way!.!. yup!. everything about them is the same!.
The only reason they're cheaper is because for a big manufactuer to put out something, they have to go through testing and trials, spending more money on the product!. Because of these extra costs of testing the product, they have to sell it for a high price to make money off of it!. With the companys that produce generics, they don't have to go through testing and trials, because the product has already been through those big steps by the original manufacturer, so they can sell it for a cheaper price!.
In fact, most big name manufacturers actually release a generic of their product as well just to make profits!. If you take a brandname and a generic and look at the ingredients on the back label, you will find that pretty much all of the ingredients are the same!. The only thing that may vary is one may have slightly more fat when the other may have slightly less sugar, little things that may affect the taste and nutrition facts!. But all in all they're the same!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

sometimes nothing!. i worked in food manufacturing for years and we used to run products for all kinds of companies!. store brands, better brands & our own company brand were all made the same exact way with the same exact ingredients!. so the only difference was packaging & price!. gives you something to think about!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The price and the packaging ~ the name brand makes deals w/ the grocery store so everyone makes money
Most things taste the same sometimes even better but I never get some items generic because it is nasty or it takes more to work
Nasty tasting
Cheeses and Milk
Takes more to work
get Nyquil because generic you have to take twice as much anyway
The sleeping pills ~ no generic
some cleaning and detergent products excluding bleach and a few similar such as the generic frebreeze
Some good generic
Cheese Nips
Mac and Cheese
Mouthwash
frozen veggiesWww@FoodAQ@Com

There really isn't much difference, they're more like knock off versions of the real thing!. They copy the name brands and sell it off as their own!. The only real difference a lot of times is the price, they'll be cheaper than the original of course!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
actually i have heard that they are the exact same thing
the name brands make the "store brands"
and the stores just put their labels on the products
so your pretty much paying for a box that says kraft on itWww@FoodAQ@Com

Minor differences in processing techniques, or in the spices used!. From a technical or edibility point of view, there is no difference!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The name brand products have more sugar in them and are suppose to be more gourmet like!.
The store brands have less sugar and sometimes less salt/seasonings, etc!., 'n cheaper price!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
