Danish grocery chain to distinguish European from US goods
Danish grocery chain to distinguish European from US goods
Saying it is promoting European products rather than boycotting US ones, a Danish supermarket chain has a special label for goods from Europe. The move comes as many seek to protest Trump's aim to control Greenland.
Summary
Denmark’s Salling Group, which owns major supermarket chains Bilka, Fotex, and Netto, is introducing a black star label on price tags to mark European-made products.
The move responds to growing Danish consumer anger over former U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to gain control of Greenland.
While the company denies it is boycotting U.S. goods, the labeling system allows shoppers to favor European brands.
Similar trends are emerging across Denmark and Europe amid broader anti-Trump sentiment and concerns over potential U.S.-EU trade conflicts.
This isn’t a boycott, but it’s definitely a quiet protest wrapped in consumer choice.

We are doing that in every province in Canada. Screw the US. They are treating us in Canada like enemies. Now they are treating the EU the same way . Isolate the US.
Good, don't eat our shitty food. The assholes in charge don't care if we die from malnutrition, so long as it takes a long time, and that's when their healthcare buddies will step in to either bankrupt your ass or deny you.
Yup! Do what the christians are afraid of doing: treat your body like a temple.
I hope that Lidl and Aldi in the USA start doing something similar to this. I would love to know at a glance what comes from this shithole country and what doesn't. Little hole-in-the-wall Asian and Latino markets are great for this already, practically nothing in them is local.
Granted, I don't buy processed foods any way, but still.
Good. Fuck up our shit, fam. US deserves all the hate. We're a dumpster fire right now.
Unfortunate; it’s not identifying US-made goods, it’s identifying European-made goods.
I was hoping that the EU and commonwealth nations would band together on this.
I'm still hoping we backdoor our way into the EU... Canada is like Western Europe... with extra Western.
At least it’s fairly obvious what’s American, and it guves the plausibls deniability. A lot of stores in Quebec will tell you what’s a product of Canada and what’s a product specifically of Quebec and that’s enough for me.
Other than wasting money on labels, why not just move the US stuff to a back corner in the store. have marking on the ground to zone this area as US junk.
Many stores already have sections with Asian products and etc. So, it is in line with that policy.
All of the labels in these stores are e-ink displays.
Further, there actually are shelves with American goods, but surprisingly, goods that come from outside the EU are not limited to the US...
Hope all this antiamerican sentiment also include fucking pistachios. Tired of everything being pistachio flavor now became Americans flooded the market
That’s funny, as an American I think of pistachio as being Turkish and Greek.
And they're still are marketed as an European nut, but the US produce 70% of all the pistachios on the world.
