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.

Maybe a circle of stars or the actual European flag would be clearer communication, but I appreciate this step!

i don't really think these displays have the resolution for that

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] vodkasolution@feddit.it 4 points 1 day ago

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

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?

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

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

And an eagle for the Mexican!

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

Would love to have you with us!

It's a legitimate question now...

I didn't realize the black star was the symbol of Europe! How futuristic

Well you know what they say, In the Villa of Ormen, stands a solitary candle.

50 euros for a liter of organic testosterone isn't bad

[-] Lupus@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

If anyone asks it's Salling Group.

[-] cabbage@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] not_IO 7 points 1 day ago

wtf is 1L of Organic Test and it costs 50 euros? what a mysterious sign

[-] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

Denmark uses krones, not euros

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago

Sweet! Would be cool if they would adopt this in other countries as well!

[-] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago

Been seeing grocery stores stick maple leafs on Canadian products here.

The US could use a poo emoji.
