It’s true. I’m flummoxed. Even the organic variety I once used ‘changed’ at some point and I missed the very subtle change on the label from California EVOO to a mix of EU countries, billing itself on the front label as ‘Napa Valley’ to this day.
Kirkland now carries what is billed as “100% Italian EVOO” but it’s not organic, and their organic EVOO hails from a number of EU countries. (my preference is organic)
Don’t even get me started on the fraud under a mix of other brands; there are a bevy of articles outlining the fraud over the years. I might have to go back to McEvoy Ranch organic EVOO (it’s quite expensive).

The video accompanying the post says there is NO LAW in the US concerning this.
If you import EVOO there is no requirement for you to certify that it is what it says it is..................
