Can you trust ammo from walmart?

Just saw a vid that says special factories produce for walmart to cut costs.

Can you trust ammo from walmart?

Every round of ammo I've bought from Walmart (12 gauge, .40 S&W, .30-30, .22lr) has fired, save 3 rounds of the .22lr. Before the madness, I used to buy all my ammo there, except for my .30-06 (needed M2 Ball, not hunting), and 7.62x54r (which they don't carry at my store). The 3 rounds that didn't fire, could very well have been due to heavy use of the rifle that day. I was at an Appleseed event, using my Ruger 10/22, and Federal .22LR that I bought from Walmart. The three rounds were all fail-to-fire late in the afternoon, after almost consuming the better part of that 550 round box. They didn't all come at the same time, but out of nearly 700 rounds of Walmart .22lr through that gun by now, only those three ever failed to fire.
