Lox fresh produce I absolutely agree, for the canned veggies it is exactly the same, it is kinda funny I watch the production facilities do a run of canned supermarket store lets say green beans ... the label machine puts store x on it ... then the next run is for store Y .. then an Aldies etc ... exact same ingredients only the label is different... however each chain may consider a product expired due to shelf life longer or shorter than another ... quality in canned is based on shelf life so the longer it sits the less quality ... always best to buy where it moves off the shelf quick since most production codes are cryptic based on the company ...
