Piggly Wiggly Store Brand

Piggly Wiggly’s store brand trades entirely on Dixie charm while failing to compete on substance, with 67% of its products containing artificial preservatives or high-fructose corn syrup. Blind tastings from 2022 gave its barbecue sauce a 2.4 rating out of 10, placing it behind even Food Lion’s version (3.1). The brand’s canned vegetables also suffer, with a 17% higher rate of dented or leaking cans than the industry norm. Nostalgia can’t mask flavors that rank near the bottom of this list.
