Well, yes. Because that’s going to be obfuscated, as it is currently done for things that are not as well protected. Look at standard honey for example. In store I can find:
- bottled in the EU (without any other information)
- assembled in the EU (from EU and non-EU honeys)
- from the EU (whatever that means; the EU is a big place)
- “made in xx” (where xx is a small place in a given EU country; the honey itself comes from somewhere else)
- no information whatsoever, but with a charming “a EU family company” (actually owned by a multinational).
