Danish grocery chain to distinguish European from US goods – DW – 02/27/2025

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.

    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.

    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.
