Reminds me of the "No Name" Brand in Canada (maybe local to certain provinces; Google Images: tiny.cc/nonamepics). It's interesting because the brand has purposely gone minimal. It's easily distinguishable treatment and lack of loud elements actually make them much more distinguishable in supermarkets.

Despite what some have said, I think in general these are done fairly well. Some are great, some are worse, but overall it's decent.

No Name also heavily competes on price. You have to look very closely when dealing with No Name, for instance No Name veg is frequently Grade B instead of Grade A. I'm not sure how CFIA grades veg but I noticed that the No Name peas I bought tasted like crap and upon further inspection I saw they were Grade B.
