Oh well in that case you may as well just making the sweeping statement that everything gives you Cancer
Well yeh that's a fair point
Just found yesterdays DM and the title reads: Never mind booze - you can get killer liver disease from biscuits.

Well, you can tell pretty easily.
Some companies make the "lowbie brand versions" in the same factories, if the packaging shape is the same (glass jars are a good indicator for this) then they are usually as good - as others have mentioned.
But again, some things don't work if they are made by cheaper brands - best to try once, see how it is (see how it compares nutritionally).

Sainsburys value custard creams were around 14p back at Uni, tasted fantastic for a huge pack. Wish i found out about them earlier.

Having worked in and ran warehouses for a couple of food related industries there isn't a lot of difference between the products.
The first was a potato factory, all the same tatties but different grading levels. Aldi for instance had a higher % of bad tatties in than Waitrose, but only about a 5% difference.
The garlic bread factory (garlics breads, pizza breads etc) and the ingredients varied but the ingredients were identical from tesco's best to aldi's own brand.
Although, the way the food is treated is more important than the quality tbh! Chilled goods left outside in 25'c heat for 3 days etc when I first started at the bread place
disgusting!

I was told that a lot of own brand products are from the same factory production lines but often with less QC and less of the more expensive ingredients that contribute to overall quality and taste of certain products.
Personally i'd guess that about 80% of ow brands i've tried are as good as the original.
With jaffa cakes i always buy own brand, they taste fine. The difference comes when you taste a real one to compare to. Otherwise, they're fine, stop being snobs!

Aldi beans are as nice as any of the top brands imo
