Italian and Vietnamese. I’m from neither of the places, but their food is so much better than anything we’ve got.

I just know that the main supermarkets in my country are actively lobbying the government and suing the competition to squash them. But hey, if we don’t try we lose by default.

Yeah, I was thinking along similar lines, but maybe just a mandatory country of origin flag next to the price. However the downside of that is that some of our food is already picked one country and then transported to another for processing, then transported to another for packaging. So my idea is unrealistic. However I like your “this is picked, processed and packaged in Europe only” type of labeling. Sadly I’m sure that all of the big food producers would be against it and they have a lot of money to lobby the government to prevent this.

Oh wow, thanks. Someone under that post also linked that this is not about Coca Cola the drink, but everything owned by the Coca Cola company, which is over 500 brands.

As I recently explained to someone else on here: I genuinely don’t think most Europeans are doing the research regarding the background of the brands they buy. It’s easy to avoid things like the standard Coca Cola drink as that’s well known to be from the US, but I’m sadly willing to bet that most of those other brands would be purchased without much of a second thought.

Got some data to back that up? All I can find is a decline in Europe revenue 2025 Q1 by 1.1%, but hey, maybe you found more recent numbers?

Of course he did. The ones he’s been found guilty of at least. But with how much he doesn’t want the files out there’s definitely some extra ones in there.
