Knorr Dinner Kit – Italian Lasagne

Product identification and category

This package is Knorr’s "Dinner Kit – Italian Lasagne", a shelf‑stable lasagne meal kit that typically contains a sauce mix and lasagne sheets (a dry/instant lasagne kit sold in retail grocery channels). The same product is listed on Knorr's local product pages for Nordic markets (example: Knorr Finland product listing for Dinner Kit Italian Lasagne). (knorr.com)

Brand origin and history

Knorr was founded in Heilbronn, Germany in 1838 by Carl Heinrich Theodor Knorr and grew historically as a manufacturer of dried soups, bouillons and meal mixes. The brand’s origin and long history are well documented and Knorr remains identified with German origins. (knorr.com)

Ownership and corporate structure

Knorr is part of Unilever’s Foods portfolio. Unilever acquired Bestfoods (the previous parent of many Knorr assets) around 2000, and Knorr has been operated globally within the Unilever group since then. In 2020 Unilever completed a legal unification under a single parent company (Unilever PLC), and Unilever continues to run Knorr as one of its major food brands. (en.wikipedia.org)

Manufacturing and distribution

Knorr products are manufactured and packaged in multiple factories around the world to serve regional markets (Europe, North America, Asia, Latin America and others). Unilever operates a distributed manufacturing network and continues to invest in regional production capabilities (Knorr production sites and broader Unilever manufacturing system improvements are documented in Unilever materials). Because Knorr products are produced in different countries for local markets, this Dinner Kit is best classified as being produced in multiple countries rather than a single fixed country of origin. Note also the special case that Knorr is licensed to Ajinomoto in Japan. (unilever.com)

Practical note

The pictured packaging contains Nordic language(s) (e.g., Finnish/Swedish labeling) and matches the Knorr "Dinner Kit – Italian Lasagne" product sold in those regional markets; specific factory/"made in" country is normally printed on the rear of the pack and can vary by market and production batch. For precise origin of a given retail pack, check the "Made in" / manufacturer line on the back of that specific package or the barcode batch data.
