A lot of the "generic" or "store brand" packaged foods are literally the same exact product as the name brands, only in different boxes/bags
My sister worked at a dairy for a while, they both made the name brand version of cottage cheese as well as the off brand. They made several brands of cottage cheese, so you are abolutely right that different brands of product are made in tye same factory, but depending of the brand or country it was shipped to the recipie was changed slightly based on the customer's request.
And those recipe changes were probably aimed at lowering costs, not increasing quality.
That, or taste...
