I can’t seem to find any evidence online but there did used to be a supermarket in the UK in the 80s/90s called ‘No Frills’ and all their products were also just black and white packaging.

The UK never had a No Frills. The No Frills chain started in Toronto, Ontario in 1978 and originally had the black and white packaging before switching to the. yellow and black. No Frills is a major grocery store chain in Canada, though it is owned by the Loblaws who suck balls.

In the 1990s, the chain Kwik Save launched a No Frills brand, offering cheaper generic products, an idea that has since been taken up by all of the major supermarket chains
