Hiding the country of origin, and the order of the ingredients

| Tin for Biskwi Butter Cookies from Dollarama |

| Shipping carton for Biskwi Butter Cookies from Dollarama |
INGREDIENTS: Flour (Wheat), Sugar, Palm Oil, Margarine, Palm Oil Shortening, Butter, Whole Egg, Whey Powder, Coconut, Ammonium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Artificial Flavours.
So, both the amount of butter and the country of origin appear to be rather over-sold by Dollarama.
Labels: Biskwi, country of origin, Dollarama, Made in China, Poland

The name is butter cookie, no cookie has butter as its main ingredient.
This company has products made in a number of countries and this makes it difficult to ascertain who the real parent country is. It's not that relevant, what matters most is the product, however, sad that they choose to overlook recognition, which is okay; after all it's their call. Thankyou for allowing me to comment.
Firstly, thank you for posting this information. After enjoying some fig cookies purchased at Dollarama and out of curiosity, looking for where they were made, I was surprised to not be able to find this on the packaging. I was, however, not surprised to discover that they were made in China, given where I bought them. It hardly seems an oversight that the country of origin was concealed from view - something that should be made available to consumers, in light of the suboptimal production standards that all too frequently Plague Chinese made items,
In Danish, it's smør kage. Smør is butter and kage is cake.
It is worth noting that, when I purchased these cookies myself a few months ago, they are no longer marked as "butter cookies" on the tin (presumably, they do not contain enough butter to merit the name). They are instead marked as "Danish style traditional cookies".
I don't think anyone believes these cookies were made in Denmark. That's why they say "danish style"
