Originally founded in France as a cooperative of retailers, Système U remains one of the country's primary supermarket Groups. Most of their private-label food products, including these potato chips, are manufactured in France using locally sourced ingredients where possible to support the domestic agricultural sector and reduce transport emissions. The brand is entirely owned by its member retailers under the cooperative structure headquarted in Rungis, France.
