Anna's Swedish Thins

Anna's Swedish Thins or (in Swedish) Annas Pepparkakor is a brand of Swedish ginger thins, produced by the Swedish company AB Annas Pepparkakor in Tyresö outside Stockholm. In November 2008, it was announced that the Belgian company Lotus Bakeries was taking over the company, with the intention of distributing the famous cookies all over Europe.[1] The thins are marketed as being under Royal Warrant to the King of Sweden.

The ginger thins are available in supermarkets all over Sweden, exported to other countries in Europe, Middle East, and produced in Canada for the North American market.

The company was founded by the sisters Anna and Emma Karlsson in 1929 and is owned by the Mattsson family since 1963. The company was appointed Purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden (kunglig hovleverantör) in 2002.

In North America, the company Anna's of North America has a bakery in High River, 50 kilometers south of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and sells the biscuits under the brand name Anna's Swedish Thins. Production has been extended to various flavours beside the traditional Swedish ginger flavour, including orange and blueberry.

As of mid-2014, the Swedish thins are imported by Lotus Bakeries North America of San Francisco, and are available in California supermarkets including Nob Hill/Raley's. The thins are available in ginger, almond, orange, and chocolate mint flavors.
