Sondey Hafergebäck (Havrekakor)

Sondey is a private-label brand owned by the German discount giant Lidl. While the brand is managed from Germany, this specific product, Hafergebäck (Havrekakor or Swedish oat cookies), is authentic to its origins and is manufactured in Sweden as indicated on the packaging.

Lidl utilizes the Sondey brand for a wide variety of bakery and confectionery items across its global network. As a private label, the ultimate ownership lies with the Schwarz Group, a multinational retail group that operates Lidl and Kaufland. The production for these cookies is typically outsourced to specialized Swedish bakeries to maintain the traditional flavor profile associated with Scandinavian Havrekakor.
