Often, the branded products are *not* the same at Walmart because the
supplier had to somehow get the price down to what Walmart demanded.

They might have bought cheaper ingredients for the Walmart market.  I
can't say about specific products, but with clothing, the goods are
manufactured more cheaply and definitely inferior even though they are
the same brand.  

The problem is that by buying anything at Walmart, we are supporting
this kind of deception.
