Why brand ownership and retailer relationships matter

Some brands are independent and stocked across many retailers, which makes price comparison easy. Others are retailer-owned or house-promoted ranges — sold mainly through one store. House brands are often very well-priced and can offer excellent value. Because they're stocked in fewer places, independent like-for-like comparison is a little harder, which is reflected in their transparency score. We label these clearly so you can compare on price per kg and ingredient quality and find the best value.
