      Usually country where it was made. Food and drink that is sold in europe is usually made in europe (at least the processed kinds, raw ingredients are often from elsewhere), but if the brand/brand owner is american, most of the actual profits go to the US.

      In an extremely fine font somewhere among another pile of useless text.

          No idea what the “ERP” is, but it is certainly not something that a common customer would check while browsing shelves looking for a cheap soap.

            ERP is Enterprise Resource Planning. Nothing the customer can access, but the information is available. The companies just have to use it. I mean: every vegetable price label reads “Tomatoes - Marokko”, “Cucumber - Spain”, “Cherries - Midgard”.

              But not available to customers. So unusable in this context. The main idea, as I understood it, was to make customers aware of what they’re buying. Markets may have that information but why would they care? They would sell you a syringe with AIDS if they could make a cent out of the deal.
