See, this is what people say, but now that I've been reading labels I don't believe it.

For example, I cannot eat Kellogg's Rice Krispies, but some off brands are made with a different formula that doesn't include gluten and is manufactured in a safe environment.

Conversely, I can eat Cheerios, but not most store brands, Lucky Charms but not most store brands, etc.

And that's just cereal! Even drugs vary wildly. Sure, the active ingredients are the same, but the other contents can really vary.

Some foods have similar ingredients, but are either manufactured on shared equipment with wheat and dairy, or not.

I now believe that most store brands are made in a unique environment. I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but if you need more examples, I can check my cupboard and tell you all kinds of things!
