I've posted quite a few threads on ALDI and LIDL beer all over here.

ALDI:

Brasserie, Shandy: St Omer, France
Ste Etienne: Den Hoorn, Belgium (InBev)
Steinhauser: DAB Dortmund/Germany (Dr Oetker)
Galahad, Bavaria, the Netherlands
Oranjeboom: Valkenswaard, the Netherlands (InBev)
Staroslav: Krusovice, Czech Republic. (Dr Oetker)
Schöfferhofer: Dr Oetker, Germany
Wernesgrüner: subsidiary of Bitburger Group, Germany.

LIDL's German brews are mainly from Frankfurt, that's the Binding Group. The French stuff is St Omer, as everybody's really.

I worked for the chicken factory Moy Park on cooking and packing. Moy Park produces chicken for Tesco, M&S, Waitrose and has their own brand. There is a flovered chicken in chunks sold for tesco that is extactly the as waitrose but is charged double price (and half weight). Every cooked chicken sold from Tesco's comes from MoyPark and there is no difference between them and other brands!

The following is a list of all the mouthwashes that have been recalled, this would indictate they are made at the same place

True, but they're not all the same formula. Make sure you only buy alcohol-free mouthwash, as the alcohol basically gives you tooth decay by drying out your saliva, which is your main weapon against mouth bacteria.

As for the theory that some companies make small changes to the ingredients when they make supermarket brand items, does that explain why M&S chicken crisps used to list coffee powder on the ingredients? Always thought that was particularly weird!

Thorntons / Marks and spencer

Throntons make and supply boiled sweets and bagged chocolates for marks and spencer. Same recipes just different shapes!

When i worked at asda a few years ago we'd get loads of stuff in that was branded for tesco ie frozen chickens. The outer packaging it was delivered to the store in (the stuff the customers dont see) used to be for asda, and sometimes you'd open stuff and it would be tesco own brand. Clearly the same stuff but just someone at the packing places or factories made a mistake! Normally you can tell by the place it came from too.

I think fabric softener is mainly done by procter and gamble and unilever, if ya look at the own brand stuff they always have the same scents or flavours but are half the price if it says asda or tesco on it.

also i read before (cant remember where) but Bernard Mathews are one of the largest suppliers for Sainsburys branded turkey breasts (think asda and tesco take them too but sainsburys was the biggest from memory) something about them being able to sell this part at a high cost and its not needed because they just grind up everything to make the twizzlers and other minging stuff.

I've avoided since.
