What are private label foods?

Private label foods are products that are manufactured by one company but sold under another company's brand, typically by retailers or grocery chains. These foods are often positioned as lower-cost alternatives to national brands, but can also include premium or specialty items. Retailers work closely with manufacturers to develop recipes, packaging, and branding tailored to their target customers. Private label foods have grown in popularity due to their affordability, variety, and improved quality over the years.
