BÄSTISAR Pasta (IKEA)

Product & Brand overview

BÄSTISAR is an IKEA-branded food product — an organic, dried durum wheat pasta shaped like elks (400 g packaging). The product is part of IKEA’s food assortment sold in IKEA food markets and stores worldwide (product listings and details shown on IKEA retail sites). (ikea.com)

Manufacturing & origin

IKEA food items (including novelty pasta shapes like BÄSTISAR) are sourced from external food suppliers and may be produced in different countries depending on the market and production batch; IKEA’s product pages advise checking the packaging label for the exact country of origin. Because production location can vary by supplier and market, the most accurate designation is that this product is manufactured in multiple countries (check the printed packaging for the specific lot).

Brand ownership & corporate structure

The BÄSTISAR product is sold under the IKEA brand, which originated in Sweden (founded by Ingvar Kamprad). The IKEA concept and brand are managed by Inter IKEA Group and franchised to retailers (the largest retailer/franchisee group is Ingka Group). The ultimate owner of the Inter IKEA Group is the Inter IKEA Foundation, a foundation based in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, which holds ownership to secure long-term independence of the IKEA Concept.

Practical note for verification

For precise manufacturing-country claims (e.g., country printed as "Made in ..."), always refer to the product packaging on the specific box you have — IKEA’s online product pages also remind customers to check the package label for the country of origin since it can vary by production batch and market.
