Both caraway seeds and cumin seeds come from plants in the "Apiaceae" family the seeds look very, very similar.

Of course their English page doesn't list the ingredients and google translate is apparently not to be trusted:

and

My vote still goes to caraway :)
Though after reading the article on wikipedia I'm starting to wonder whether the manufacturers themselves actually know what they've put in those biscuits :D
You're right my friend. I know what we pack into this panzerwaffles :). The recipe for these crackers is the same for the last 30-40 years. In this days there was no cumin in common use in Poland. The cumin taste is rather associated with Indian/Arabic dishes
