    I mean I was being a little jocular in my comment (since this tracker is on the outside) it doesn’t really matter.

    But by preferring “inauthentic” I was thinking something like “Greek style cheese” which is just feta but made outside of Greece or sparking wine for champagne. So food standards still apply.

    But yeah, they are trying to stop fraudulent claims.
