There are legal requirements for knowing the origin of foodstuffs in most liberal progressive democracies, I’m sure Denmark will have some. If a supermarket cannot discern where their foods are coming from I think there’s far bigger issues at play than European star labels.

What you’re suggesting is that large corporations are so incompetent, and being incompetent is profitable, that they should be left alone to continue to be incompetent. So that they can profit and we, the consumer, are told to jog on.

If they cannot confidently say an item is European then they shouldn’t label it as European.

If they cannot confidently say which continent an item they expect you to eat comes from, then they shouldn’t be operating.

If the idea is to avoid American, and support European. Purchasing from a middleman European company is hardly supporting European.

Most of the money ultimately still ends up in American hands, just the tiny bit of profit added on during the final sale to the consumer remains European. Everything else goes back to America.

If I sold you a packet of bananas, and told you they’re Irish bananas because it’s an Irish company selling them, you’d call me a liar because obviously Ireland doesn’t have the climate to grow bananas. It’s the same principle.

If it’s not European, don’t put the star on, it’s pretty simple.
