Ingredients from all across the world. Made in the UK sometimes but the ingredients are global and most manufacturers do not disclose their origin and probably don't know them either.

And as for buying a car, again global sourcing so plenty of EU content in them. And even British car brands like Vauxhall (mostly EU), Jaguar (Some Austrian), Land Rover (Some Slovakian), MG (China, Thailand) and MINI (Some German and Dutch) are not all assembled here.

First, Carth doesn't harp on about anything.

Second, from your list of car component sources:

GOOD: Austria, Slovakia, Thailand, Dutch.

OK: German.

The Enemy: Chiana & France that you did not mention (being a Remainer).

Waitrose has replied (in respect of Ginger in Syrup):

In our product descriptions, we need to strike a balance between giving too much information and not enough. What constitutes enough, or too much, information will vary from customer to customer and we're acutely aware we won't get it right all the time.

I'm happy to answer your specific questions and can confirm the ginger is from China whereas the glass jar is made in the UK.

I hope this has resolved your query though please let me know if it hasn't.

Obviously I'm cycnical.
