    Can you also put a maple leaf for Canadian products so we don’t accidentally become collateral damage to your response to Trump’s madness?

      Sure, but besides the top shelf maple sirup what else would it be applied to? I mean no offense, but I don’t think that we import that much food from Canada

    Can Canadians buy European products and vice versa? Maybe, we can join your union if we are extra nice?

    It more precisely indicates that the product is made by a corporate entity where the top level company is European. The product can still be made by a US subsidiary, or be made from 100% US ingredients, and still get the star.

      So Netto and Føtex, for all intents and purposes. The Netto close to home is too shit and Føtex is too far away, but good to know!

      I wonder if the entire EEA is included in this, or just the EU27.

      Denmark doesn’t use the euro, they use danish crowns - 49,95 DKK are 6,69€ so that’s basically a steal!

        It’s barely got the resolution for one star given that it’s been photoshopped on at a higher resolution than the rest of the label.

    there are already European laws to clarify if a product is made entirely in a single country or in EU, same with raw materials; you can read it on the label of food, wine, oil, etc

      lidl

      They pretty much sell their own brands anyway, don’t they? Unless it’s different in the UK.

      So technically most things they sell are European brands.
