Delhaize Light spread

Delhaize Light is a low-fat spread, typically used as an alternative to butter or margarine, containing 25% fat and marketed as lactose-free. It is a private-label product developed specifically for the Delhaize supermarket chain. The brand originates from Belgium, where the Delhaize brothers founded their grocery business in 1867. This specific product is primarily manufactured and distributed within Belgium to serve its local market.

In 2016, Delhaize Group merged with the Dutch retailer Royal Ahold to form Ahold Delhaize. Looking toward 2026 and beyond, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V., which is headquartered in Zaandam, Netherlands. The company operates as a global food retail leader, managing a portfolio of strong local brands across Europe, the United States, and Indonesia. In Belgium, the brand is managed through its local entity, Delhaize Le Lion/De Leeuw.
