Bönor (Beans)

The term 'Bönor' is the Swedish word for beans, and it is a stapler filler for various Swedish private labels and brands. In the Swedish market, canned or dried beans are typically sold under prominent local brands like ICA, Coop, Garant, or GoGreen.

While the brands themselves are headquartered in Sweden, the beans are sourced globally. Depending on the variety (kidney beans, black beans, chickpeas), the manufacturing and packing usually take place in countries with high agricultural output for legumes, such as Italy, Spain, or Canada. Ownership of these products typically rests with large Scandinavian retail conglomerates like ICA Gruppen or Axfood, which manage the supply chain from sourcing to shelf.
