    Is there a list somewhere of commonly found American products in European supermarket so that I can definitely not do a bit of this…?

    I lose track of all the daughter companies and such that one should watch out for.

        Thanks! I find the method interesting. Are the results mostly accurate in your experience?

          I haven’t done any proper validation - was just a very basic PoC, using resources available to anyone (a list of companies and their subsidiary brands + free LLM) to see if it would work in principle.

          The file itself is sourced from Wikipedia, so is probably accurate enough if you just wanted to ctrl+f and search manually.

        Nestlé doesn’t need to be American for you to boycott it though.

        This image alone proves that governments only care about monopolies in writing 😂

        Edit: Aw fuck, Ms Vickies is Canadian but owned by Pepsi? Fml. So in the end, it’s not really Canadian. We can’t have anything good…

        This picture is going through the net for so long, still German news are trying to convince its readers that there aren’t many American products on European supermarket shelves.
