Albert Heijn Kip Ragout

Albert Heijn Kip Ragout is a classic Dutch convenience food product consisting of chicken pieces in a creamy white sauce, typically served in pastry shells (ragoutbakjes). It is a private label product from Albert Heijn, the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands.

The brand traces its origins back to 1887 when Albert Heijn Sr. took over a small grocery store in Zaandam. Over more than a century, it evolved from a local shop into a dominant multinational retail force. The product is primarily manufactured in the Netherlands through a network of specialized private-label suppliers that meet the retailer's stringent quality and sustainability standards, often featuring certifications like 'Beter Leven'.

Today, the brand is owned by Ahold Delhaize, a global retail leader formed by the 2016 merger of the Dutch Ahold and the Belgian Delhaize Group. The company is headquartered in Zaandam, maintaining its historical roots while operating as a major player on the international stock exchange.
