THE PUBLIC LOVES PRIVATE LABEL
 
This summer a Consumer Reports taste test found Store-Brand or Private Label products as good as, and sometimes even better than, big name brands.
 
And while the economy helped push low cost brand-alternatives into shopping carts, an IRI survey notes
78 percent of both lower- and higher-income consumers believe private label products are typically of excellent quality. 

The best opportunities for private label growth remain in commodity-driven categories, like pasta-based meals. 
 
Philadelphia Macaroni is one of the largest producers of bulk dry pasta, IQF pasta, and boxed mac & cheese for the private label industry. 
 
We offer traditional, organic and specialty pastas, custom shapes with varied ingredients including whole wheat, multi-grain and vegetables.  Semolina is locally sourced from our own mill and used for our traditional products or blends.
