The first "Store Brand" was Co-Op (in Oldham, UK). Which was introduced as a mark of quality over generic sacks of loose produce.
It was co-op by name and co-oip by nature - owned by the workers who were also the customers - it was a co-operative buying model.
They then vertically integrated along the supply chain into international farming and retail stores, growing into the largest retail food sellers in the world.
Seeing a slice of the pie, other Branded Goods introduced themselves to compete in the new retail environment.
One such brand was "Heinz" - first to introduce clear glass containers to demonstrate the quality of the goods inside - a novelty at the time when food was sold in sealed clay pots.
Let's be real, corporations have no nationality. Who are the controlling shareholders of this "British-Dutch" conglomerate? What if the executive of this "British-Dutch" conglomerate use their position to benefit Israhell, which they often do? See how that works?
So, yeah, "big companies are (often) jewed." And even if you don't believe that, the slop and poison they sell us is better avoided anyhow.
Example: Kroger's store brand pudding comes in Con-Agra packages. Same as Jello brand.

It's funny how things go round and round.
