ICA Sun-dried Tomatoes

ICA Sun-dried tomatoes are a private label product from ICA Gruppen, specifically packaged for the Swedish market. While the brand is Swedish, the tomatoes used in this product are harvested and processed in Turkey, which is a common manufacturing origin for sun-dried tomato products sold in Scandinavia.

The ICA brand originated in Sweden in 1938 when Hakon Swenson founded Inköpscentralernas Aktiebolag to help independent retailers compete with emerging large-scale grocery chains. Today, the brand is owned by ICA Gruppen AB, which is controlled by ICA-handlarnas Förbund (the Swedish trade association of ICA retailers) and AMF. The product represents a typical example of Swedish supermarket branding where local quality standards are applied to internationally sourced Mediterranean ingredients.
