Danone Hüttenkäse (Cottage Cheese)

This product is Danone Hüttenkäse, a variety of cottage cheese distributed within the European market. The packaging features a barcode (40097138) and an identification mark 'DE BY 13165 EG', which indicates that the product was manufactured in Germany (specifically in Bavaria) at a certified dairy facility. Although Danone is a global leader in dairy and plant-based products, they often produce locally or regionally to ensure freshness in the dairy category.

Danone itself was founded in Spain by Isaac Carasso and later established its headquarters in France. Today, it remains one of the largest food-and-beverage corporations globally. The Dutch address on the label (Danone Nederland) serves as the regional distributor and point of contact for the Netherlands, while the ultimate ownership resides with the French multinational corporation Danone S.A.
