LU Bastogne Duo biscuits are a variation of the classic spiced biscuits originally inspired by Belgian baking traditions. The brand LU (Lefèvre-Utile) was founded in Nantes, France, in 1846 by Jean-Romain Lefèvre and Pauline-Isabelle Utile. Today, LU is one of the most recognized biscuit brands globally, known for its commitment to using sustainable wheat through its 'Harmony Program'.

While the brand has French origins, the Bastogne product line specifically celebrates flavors associated with the Benelux region. Ownership of LU has transitioned through major food conglomerates over the decades. In 2007, the brand was acquired by Kraft Foods, which later spun off its snack food division into what is now Mondelēz International. As of 2026, LU remains a flagship brand in Mondelēz's global portfolio, with production occurring in various facilities across Europe to serve different markets.
