And it seems they were a bit further by marking US products:

21 kr for mælk, jeebus wept. Ironically prices for alcohol has stayed largely the same in the last almost 3 decades.
It is lactose free. However, I understand your point. The price for milk has just increased considerably, and we still don’t understand why exactly.
2,81 euro for 1 liter milk?! That's steep.
That's about as expensive as our A-brand oat milks (which got subjected to extra tax last year due to heavy lobbying from our farmers, who seem to have big issues with milk-alternatives)
1 liter Arla milk in my local supermarket is 1,77 euro. And that's because Arla is considered an A-brand here, house-brand milk is 1 euro for 1 liter.
Our A-brand is Arla 😂 and the others cost 15kr (€2) per a liter
Still used Google translate though...
I've switched to using Deepl and I think it does a better job of translating, well with Spanish anyway
Damn thank you for that, I thought deepl only had text translation... It seems to do a way better job at placing text on the image as well.
So long google translate, you won't be missed.
Why not just mark the price tag of everything American with a swastika or that stupid X logo.

Use DeepL next time
Well, in Germany we have "regional produced goods". Except that they are produced in °some asian foreign country° but (re)packaged in Germany (often directly near the port after unloading the container ships). This is enough to call them " regional".
I don't think that's quite right. Products here usually always have their country of origin either on the product label itself or on the price label if it's unpackaged produce. Sure, it's extremely easy to pick the made-in-China garlic at a grocery store thinking it was grown in Germany, but usually you find a European-alternative for, in this case garlic, in the organic/Bio section.
Yes, these actually regional products do exist, but unless there is further information on the product itself there is no chance to know what that "regional part" may be: the (processed) product itself, the raw materials, the packaging? Any of these three allows retailers to label them as "regional", which is a shame.
Example from Rewe:
It states "Aus Niedersachsen" ("from lower Saxony", which is a German state) but this may be only where the product was packaged. Without looking at the label there is no chance to determine if the pickles are from Niedersachsen. It could be the case (the label on the right side says "Gewürzgurken aus ?"), but you have to check each product one by one. And you have to do this check every time because this can change for each batch at any time. So it is easy to mislead consumers here.
Edit:
The country of origin is only required for certain goods anyway: Eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, honey, and some more. (german source). Also under some circumstances there needs to be clarification regarding the products origin, but that is not the case in general.
So this is what you get for years of conservative, capitalist lobbying.
does this tell me if european product company is owned by blackrock?
What shop is this from?
It's the Netto family, so Netto, Føtex. I'm fairly certain by the background that it's a Netto photographed. I saw the star in one the other day :D
If it's Netto, then I hope they'll do this in other countries as well.
I cent tell which exact shop this is from, but it's one managed by Salling Group which rolled this out across all of their stores recently.
I would also like to know. Hopefully it's all of them, but I remember reading that it's supposed to be Fotex.
Yey, we did a thing!
