I know for a fact that Walmart has just about everything built to THEIR specifications.
When Excide was making Walmart's batteries they where not the same battery you got at Napa or your OEM dealer. Same plant but different materials. Usually to make them cheaper to make/sell. Life or usage not the main consideration.
I used to wear a certain brand and model of jeans. I compared the ones I bought locally at an independent store to Walmarts. The big writing was the same but if you looked close at the tag the Model has some extra suffix numbers. These made it a different pair of pants but you had to really look close. The Walmart ones where made of lighter material. Theirs did not last as well.
Another family friend works at a Factory in IL that packages chemicals. Brake fluid, starting fluid etc. They packaged Walmarts stuff for a while. Their stuff just got the minimum of additives. It barely would meet spec. HE said Walmart's buyers would come in and TELL them what they where going to pay. Not get a bid, TELL the company what they would pay. So the company was left with cutting the cost of the product to make a profit.
I will bet that this is standard Walmart practice. So I am willing to bet that just about everything they buy has things not in it that the same brand would have when bought at other retailers.
I have always felt that if you use junk products in good stuff you soon will have junk stuff.
