Mcennedy American Way is a private label brand created and owned by the German discount supermarket giant Lidl. Despite its heavy branding as an American-origin line with a red, white, and blue logo and a style reminiscent of United States products, the brand is entirely European in origin. It was developed to market American-style snacks and pantry staples to European consumers during 'American weeks' and as regular inventory.

The manufacturing of Mcennedy products primarily takes place in Germany and other European countries, utilizing various contract manufacturers that meet Lidl's specifications. The brand serves as a strategic house brand, allowing Lidl to control the supply chain and pricing of themed international goods. As a subsidiary brand of the Schwarz Group, it remains under German corporate ownership with no direct corporate ties to the United States.
