Generally house brands, like "Signature" at Safeway, are on the shelf next to the name brand products.
BTW, Safeway doesn't can its own peas (for example). Retailers buy the product from the name brand producers and either label it themselves or have it labeled with their house brand by the company they buy from.
I conceded above that I was mistaken about Walmart owning Blackburn. Now harping on the terminology is simply picking nits. But I have noticed that does seem to be a favorite pastime for some people here.
