The short Story is, that they only mark the country of the company who sells the products and not the country of origin. So for wxamble, their own peanuts are marked with a star as they are based in EU as a company, but their peanuts can come from the US. Same gores with “California raisins” and other products what recieve the EU mark simply because the company who owns the brand are based in EU.
I mean, you said it not me. This is not false.
Different question — it’s one of priority. If you can catch 90% of the non-European items cheaply and easily, better to do that than to catch 99.9% and raise prices so much that the European products are not competitive. They’re guidelines not strict life-and-death rules.
