Albert Heijn Dental Care Tandenstokers

Albert Heijn's Dental Care toothpicks (tandenstokers) are a prominent private-label oral hygiene product found throughout the Netherlands. The Albert Heijn brand, established in 1887 in Oostzaan, has evolved from a small grocery store into the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands. These dental products are part of their extensive own-brand range, designed to provide affordable essentials to the Dutch market. While the brand is quintessentially Dutch, the raw materials and manufacturing for wood-based dental products like these often occur across multiple countries in Europe or Asia, depending on sustainable wood sourcing. Today, the brand is under the ultimate ownership of Ahold Delhaize, a global retail giant formed by the 2016 merger of the Dutch Ahold and Belgian Delhaize Group, headquartered in Zaandam.
