Per this list it is. I think it's Germany that has less involvement, UK and France are the key European members.

Carth and I have harped on about this for a bit. But look at a bar of chocolate from the Co-op or a ready meal from there as the Co-op is good at disclosing this data. 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.

Re: Britain outside the EU
My previous car was a Toyota, my present one is a Nissan, both made (assembled) in England . . but that's about as far as it goes 
I looked at the Honda HR-V but didn't fancy ending up with a Mexican one

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):
Quote:
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.

Hence, my "where possible", I know not all I buy can be grown in the UK.

Re: Britain outside the EU
My (French) wife buys a lot of French produce. Even more than before, as there are no shortages since Brexit.

Exactly. Shortages on the shelves are a UK issue, not an EU one.

Didn't you see the actual explanation for this? https://www.brusselstimes.com/news/b...-difficulties/
Caused by a local strike of number of warehouse workers who supply Carrefour.

Nice Welsh salt here.

And I'm sure you can find some Indian pepper
