Isn't that a problem with US regulations and enforcement, rather than EU ones?

- evgen 10y agoIt is a problem with US regulators assuming that EU regulations are something more than scams to bid up the price of olive oils by claiming they came from a particular region (usually one that makes some bogus terrior claim) when in fact they do not. If the EU cannot enforce its own vaunted food regulations then I suppose the US should just stop accepting any claims regarding food provenance and dispense with any DOP compliance whatsoever...
- pcrh 10y agoMost likely the oil is shipped in large containers and bottled in the US. So the labeling will fall under US jurisdiction, not EU.
