As for name brand goods, I've always believed they are the same quality however Wal Mart does often demand different packaging, and portion size for marketing/ pricing reasons. 976ml Milk, 1.75L Coke, 600g Cheese, etc.... All so they don't have to worry about having to match sale prices as those siz s are exclusive to Wal Mart.
As for chicken, well it's mostly ML prime or from either Lillydale or Sunrise and as far as I know the same batches of drums could go to any of the retailers. The worst part of groceries at Wal Mart is the staff are not trained to know anything about the departments. The guy working in produce is not a Produce Guy, the bakery manager is not a baker, the kid stocking the fresh meat was working in the electronics department yesterday.

I don’t know about food, but I know for fact their other “brand” name items are usually made to specific Walmart specs which are cheaper and of less quality (take a look at a tv there and compare the model number to say Best Buy or The Bay and it will have the same name but a different model number). Wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same with food.
Big box stores pull the same #### with their Boxing Day sales. Inferior models compared to their regular stock.
