Are you sure these are “Royal Dansk” brand cookies? I work for a guy who buys these all the time. Once he bought a tin that said something like “Danish Butter Style Cookies.” I noticed that those were made in India, but the Royal Dansk tins said they were made in Denmark.
The running joke in my two-county Scouting district is that Denise Butter Cookies are our official baked snack. We give them away all the time as prizes. The crowd is always in on the joke and they go nuts when the tin is brought out. It’s fun
Sometimes “Danish style” is second prize, because they’re not as good. Now I know why!
“Tins”?
Are you Britt?
Just curious.
Oddly I do not care as the baking proccess will kill any pathogens as in our manufactures here. Once cooked the important part is sanitary packing procedures as to not contaminate the product.
I have eaten many of the cookies but all were processed in Denmark.
PS
I once worked for a pharmaceutical specialty manufacture company that imported base products from India and also China. We were a small market company and did things that the big companies did not want to do because of low volume sales. We were low volume high profit model.
Our bosses traveled India and China to inspect their providers of the drugs. In India and China they found manufacturing processes of extreme high quality and also low quality. Our FDA does not do much better here in the USA.
