I would guess Pop-Tarts and all the store brands are made in the same factory.

That’s sometimes (but obviously not this time) a closely guarded secret. Trader Joe’s, for instance, doesn’t let you know who makes their TJ’s-branded stuff.
This is an issue for me, sometimes, because they discontinue their shit occasionally. And sometimes they discontinue some of my favorite things. And I *suspect* those things are still made, just elsewhere. If only I were a detective.

This practice is what is referred to as “white label”.

Pop tarts are not vegetarian but judging by the many pictures of disappointing tarts I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

Most store brands are made in a small number of factories that just switch out the packaging once they hit the end of a batch. I used to work for Safeway, and while Safeway has several store names under their umbrella, Piggly Wiggly never has been. Imagine our surprise when a whole case of PW mac’n’cheese dinner showed up on the pallet.
