In Gilead they called it "Fish & Loaves":
I feel like they would end up charging more for this stuff than gets charged for name brand items.
What is this, the Oldest House?
Thanks of reminding me of the awesome premise of the Oldest House.
"Better not bring any unnecessary cultural artifacts into the reality shifting place, so that whatever is in here doesn't have anything to latch onto."

The reason they said Canada is because we have a brand here called No Name in yellow packaging doing that exact thing. It’s Loblaw’s store brand.

Once upon a time in England we had “No Frills” which was basically exactly that
remember when Tesco products were white packages with blue stripes?
Now they dress it up with fake farm and deli names. "Creamfields", "Hearty Food Co", "Boswell Farms". I am not fooled!
When I was poor and unemployed in the distant past, I sustained myself on Tesco value pasta at 13p a bag.
I remember their orange juice being so thick and rich for something like 30p per litre. The richer parents bought the brands with pulp
I still stand by their Finest range of orange juice with pulp. Everyone else’s is shit.
Nah, I loved gulping that battery acid
Canada still has No Frills, at least In British Columbia. They essentially get the leftovers the big-box stores don’t want.

If you grew up poor in America this is what government issued food stuffs looked like. They realized having this stuff was humiliating to the people that needed it and replaced it completely with snap cards you can use to buy whatever. Government cheese and peanut butter and milk were big staples.

There's a beer made in New Zealand, by garage project, called Beer. The cans look very similar to those products.
Pretty sure we've got it in USA too, I think I've seen billboards for it recently.
Sweden had Konsum/Domus and Blåvitt
And Japan has Muji.
Shocked you're the first ITT to mention 無印良品 - it's probably the most successful unbranded brand in the world nowadays!
Side note, Muji 無印 literally means "no brand".
In Germany the leading drugstore chain does this with their brand aimed at Men. (See link).

They also noticed that they don't like walking through the whole store, so they put every product for men in one aisle directly next to the checkout.
Don't forget "Ja!" https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.zFtYRskRiRhbki-Tbz2qgAAAAA&pid=Api
Yeah actually every grocery chain in Germany has its own noname products which are pretty good quality.
I am still waiting for an online store that can sell me a no brand/ no label high quality tshirt in any of the basic colors and cuts and fabrics
Probably need to post your country/region. Many of the better online stores are regional.
For Germany, grundstoff.net has a good selection. They seem to ship all over Europe, but the webpage is only German...

this looks exactly like all products in the movie repo man.
We had this in France in the 80s when big supermarkets started to open.
Norwegian and Danish grocery store "Rema 1000" has their own store brand that's very minimalistic: https://shop.rema1000.dk/?filters=rema1000
It's just the text saying what it is and a little picture and not much else.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is pretty normal outside USA.
They stock really good røkt laks. Used to know someone who worked in Norway and used to bring it sometimes.

If you see stuff like that you're either at a military commissary, or No Frills.
