LU Le Petit Chocolat biscuits

LU, which stands for Lefèvre-Utile, is an iconic French brand that dates back to 1846 when it was founded by Jean-Romain Lefèvre and Pauline-Isabelle Utile in Nantes, France. The brand is world-renowned for its high-quality biscuits and buttery textures, specifically the 'Petit Beurre' which has become a symbol of French culinary heritage.

Today, LU is owned by Mondelez International, a global snack food powerhouse headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Mondelez acquired the biscuit division of Groupe Danone in 2007, bringing LU under its broad portfolio of international brands. While the brand remains deeply rooted in its French origins, its manufacturing spans across multiple facilities in Europe and beyond to meet global demand, with significant production still occurring in its native France as well as in Belgium and other regional hubs.
