Lätta margarine

Lätta is a well-known brand of low-fat spread that has become a household name across Europe, particularly in Germany and Sweden. Originally launched in 1984, it was developed by the consumer goods giant Unilever as a healthier, lighter alternative to traditional butter and high-fat margarines. The product was specifically formulated to cater to the growing consumer demand for reduced-calorie diets without sacrificing the spreadability and taste profile associated with dairy products.

Over the decades, Lätta underwent significant ownership changes as part of global corporate restructuring. In 2018, Unilever sold its entire spreads division to the private equity firm KKR (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.), which led to the creation of Upfield. Today, Upfield is the world's leading producer of plant-based spreads. The brand's manufacturing is distributed across multiple European locations to serve various regional markets, reflecting its status as a major international player in the plant-based food sector.
