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.

Ive been looking for a mitre saw, was just about to pull the trigger on a dewalt xr piece, looking at adapting all new tools to use existing dewalt batteries instead. Wont buy american while they carry themselves like this. I dont buy Russian either, same principle.
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.
Which is putins plan but its their fault for falling for it. They get what they deserve, I only hope w see Russia fall too.
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.
2025: Buying Anything But American
New ACAB just dropped, BABA!
BABA
Well the US is proving to be quite the black sheep.
Someone needs to get on merchandising this ASAP. What color hats we going with? Purple?
I second the purple hats. It’s the color of the crown chakra and also the color of the queers. Red is the color of the root chakra and rednecks, very primitive.
ETA: can they please be pointy wizard hats instead of baseball caps?
My country has fucked up international relations big time (US).
Hey don’t forget to look for the maple leaf on those products too! :)
Or, you know… just slide us Canucks right into the EU, if you please. ASAP.
Dr.Oetker is an honorary European.
Well, it’s German, so yeah.
See lol
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…
It’s a good idea but everyone already knows what the American crap is.
Is the chocolate literally dog shit? American!
Hershey’s taste like vomit
I heard you like the mouth feel of sand with your chocolate, so I put some grit in there for ruffage!
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.
I’ve been to Montreal/Quebec a handful of times. Felt just like Europe, just with bigger dumber cars. We can definitely let you in, but only if you promise to swap General Motors for Volkswagen ;)

We may not have a choice, Trump’s tariffs may kill GM.
There is a Volkswagen EV plant that’s being constructed in Canada now, and we’re totally cool with more things like that happening ;)
Montreal and Quebec City felt like the most European cities in North America.
Let’s go neutral and lock-in the Subarus we already love here. Or maybe even Renault and Citroen since they’re French and we don’t have them yet? VWs are expensive garbage. Honestly most German vehicles I’ve had the displeasure of being near are remarkably bad for the reputation and price tag they have.
You can criticise German cars, but you can’t claim French cars are better
Anyway, any cars that meet the EU’s emission standards are fine.
Sure but the French cars are cheaper to make up for it, are they not?
Also lol at VW meeting emmision standards. I know it was more specifically about the diesels but that still doesn’t fill me with much trust.
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.
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.
