About Ryvita

Ryvita is a rye crispbread first baked in Birmingham in 1925 using a Scandinavian recipe, and it is closely associated in Britain with dieting. ABF has owned it since 1997. Rye crispbread is an everyday staple in Sweden and Finland, where it carries none of the dieting association it acquired in Britain.
