In Latvia we recently introduced a law where we must add country of origin on price tags for all food products. It is quite fun and sometimes surprising to see where something was made.
I like stuff that says
Origin of beef: EU and outside of EU
Like yeah that’s real specific
Curry Spice Mix
Ingredients: spicesPerhaps cows are allowed to freely move over the EU border? I’ve got it, is this since brexit? if so then they must be Irish cows…
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.
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.
If anyone asks it’s Salling Group.
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.
50 euros for a liter of organic testosterone isn’t bad
Denmark doesn’t use the euro, they use danish crowns - 49,95 DKK are 6,69€ so that’s basically a steal!
Sweet! Would be cool if they would adopt this in other countries as well!
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
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.
wtf is 1L of Organic Test and it costs 50 euros? what a mysterious sign
50DKK (Danish Kroner) is like 7 euros.
No idea what that thing is though
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
Really hope Aldi and Lidl in the UK do this 🤞 (Tesco is no1 supermarket but sadly can’t see them following)
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.
