You see it on everything from pasta sauces to power tools: the "Made in the EU" label. For many consumers, it’s a shorthand for quality, safety, and supporting the local economy. But what if I told you that a product labeled "Made in the EU" could be almost entirely composed of components from the other side of the world?

At EU Product Score, our mission is to peel back the label. Today, we’re looking at the legal reality of the "Made in..." claim and why our European Score is often the only way to see the full truth.

Walking through a European supermarket can feel like navigating a sea of acronyms. From the colourful Nutri-Score logo on a cereal box to the prestigious red and yellow DOP seal on a block of cheese, these labels are designed to inform us. But what do they really mean? At EU Product Score, we believe that understanding these labels is the first step toward making smarter, more conscious purchasing decisions.

This guide will demystify the most common food labels you'll encounter, explaining how they work, what they guarantee, and how they relate to our own European Score.
