Danish grocery chain to distinguish European from US goods

February 27, 2025

Saying it is promoting European products rather than boycotting US ones, a Danish supermarket chain has a special label for goods from Europe. The move comes as many seek to protest Trump's aim to control Greenland.

The Danish Salling Group said it will be adding a black star to electronic price tags for European-made goods to allow consumers to choose them over products made in the United States.

The move comes as many in Denmark want to make a protest against the policies of US President Donald Trump, notably his declared aim of bringing the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland under US control— whether by purchase or, potentially, by force.

Growing consumer anger at Trump

The Salling Group, Denmark's largest grocery group and the operator of major supermarkets Bilka, Fotex and Netto, said it had received inquiries from customers who want to buy European brands rather than their US equivalents.

"We are making it easier to shop for European brands," CEO Anders Hagh wrote on networking platform LinkedIn with a photo showing what the stars would look like on supermarket price signs.

Hagh said that to enable customers the choice, "We will introduce a new marking on our electronic price tags in Bilka, Fotex and Netto during March, where a small star will show if the brand is owned by a European company."

Hagh denied that the move entailed a boycott of US products.

"We will continue to have brands on the shelves from all over the world, and it will always be up to the customers to choose," he wrote. "The new label is only an extra service for customers who want to buy goods with European brands."

Other retailers in Denmark have been reducing the amount of US goods on their shelves, while Danish consumers have been increasingly shunning anything bearing the label "Made in the United States," according to the digital newspaper NordiskPost.

Experts say that consumer forums in other parts of Europe are also considering using purchasing power to convey a political message in protest at the Trump administration's policies.

This comes as Trump is threatening to unleash a trade war with the EU by imposing high tariffs on some of its products, claiming without evidence that the bloc was created "in order to screw the United States."

Good. Maybe economic pain will encourage American voters to stop supporting the shittiest people.
