Here in Germany I can still get it in almost every supermarket. So I don't know if it is the EU blocking imports.

Is it the original from Huy Fong though? In the Netherlands there are a few different variants of the sauce for sale, but the original is only sold through smaller shops.

I like this one, packaging looks almost the same: https://static.ah.nl/static/product/AHI_43545239353338303138...

You're right. What I've got is NOT the original. I was misled by the almost identical look, wow. (got a FlyingGooseProduct here)

In Switzerland you can get it too.

Given that food laws need to be aligned with the EU I also don't believe that the block is an EU wide thing.

Same in Finland, which is known for being very by the book when it comes to EU regulations.

You're probably seeing Flying Goose brand, which is very similar in appearance (bottle, etc) but not the same taste.

Good guess! I checked in my fridge, and it does indeed have a flying goose logo.
