Knorr (/nɔːr/;[1] German: [knɔʁ]) is a food and beverage brand based in Heilbronn, Germany and founded in 1838. It has been owned by the British company Unilever since 2000, when Unilever acquired Best Foods, excluding Japan, where it is made under license by Ajinomoto. It produces dehydrated soup and meal mixes, bouillon cubes and condiments.

It was known as Royco in Indonesia and Kenya, and as Continental in Australia and New Zealand. Knorr is also produced in India[2][3] and Pakistan.[4]
