Wow, fall of 2022 to march is quite a broad range to have to cover. Looking at the list it's interesting to see how supply chains work in this instance with some stores being affected nation wide and some only specific states. That said personally if I had Walmart brand frozen pineapple in NY I think I wouldnt chance it.

good illustration of how we pay for brand and packaging, but in many cases they all just come from the same factory.

I especially learned this whenever Peter Pan peanut butter had a huge recall back in 2009. It included Walmart peanut butter too.

The same applies for OTC meds. The pharmacy store brand generic is the equivalent of the name brand.
