28. Where does this come from?

I think there is a clear lack of transparency in Germany concerning the origin of food products.
Except for fruits and vegetables, other packed goods, like pasta, rice, oil, and other simple NOVA 1 or 2 ingredients, the origin of the main ingredient is never mentioned.
It can be guess if it is an organic product on the certification label but you usually have "EU/non-EU agriculture".
In France or Japan for instance, origin of the main ingredients are mentioned.
And I usually tend to buy those coming from the country where I live in, and in Germany, this is not possible.
Plus, organic transformed products usually use palm oil, as opposed to many French organic or non-organic French brands.

What a lovely country.
