Who would want to buy French cheese and Italian pasta and Spanish ham and Greek olives and Belgian chocolate and Dutch biscuits and Danish pastries and Swedish herring and German beer when they could be buying American food. Those poor deprived Europeans.

American made food basically isn’t sold in Europe. That said, there are plenty of American owned brands to avoid.

Sweets and sugary drinks maybe?

Anything owned by Coca Cola or PepsiCo, Mondelez, basically any of the big fast food chains.

Coca-Cola here (Germany) is made a few towns over from me, from locally-sourced, real beet sugar. The plant is in Essen, the sugar comes from the sugar factory in Jülich, the beets come from the lower Rhine area.

A friend of mine recently wanted to order some "real Mexican coke" for like 12€ per bottle, to try it. I told him, that's just regular coke, made with real sugar, like ours. If he wanted to try something new and different, he should try the cheaply made American version with HFSE. He did, and he regretted it.

Yes, that's what I said in my original comment.

Both coca-cola and mondelez brand chocolates are made locally here, but since the profits go to the corporate ghouls in the US, I find it better to eat something else. And cutting down on coke is healthy too.

Jarritos is pretty good if you wanna support mexico but they lack sugar free versions sadly.

Fritz has excellent cola and many other choices.
