  • Grunewald, Orlen
  • Faulds, David J.

Abstract

This study investigates quality and value comparisons between national and private label brands of processed food products. Regression analyses indicate a weak relationship between price and quality for such products. Private label and national brands offer similar product quality while private labels offer better values for consumers.
