[–] NJA@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children) Really as long as they are labeled correctly and not like dairy treat vs ice cream it's probably fine permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) labeled correctly and not like dairy treat vs ice cream I mean, that is labeled correctly... Something to do with milk fat percentages. And since it's (relatively) expensive, once you go cheap enough they stop using it and legally can't call it ice cream. There's not enough cream to meet the legal definition permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] NJA@lemmy.world -11 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago Yeah, for me just about any consumable I buy store brand for. They're pretty much equal the name brand (if not sometimes better). There are some exceptions, but as long as they're the same product, they're probably produced in the same factory even. permalink fedilink source parent
