I like to buy British whenever possible here are a couple of examples of things that are not what they seem.I must remember to take my specs shopping with me.
The first is a tin of Scottish shortbread,a traditional cover of tartan,a Coat of Arms and the name Montgomery's of St Andrews. OK a product produced just over the border so not far to travel. However if you read the reverse of the label there are the words Product of Indonesia.
The second example is the story of a well traveled English product. Newcastle Brown Ale,a famous ale brewed no too far from here so not a long journey there. Wrong again if you look at the bottom of the can there are the words Imported from England. On the reverse the label is written in English and Danish. For all it toing and frowing this beer works out at 50p a can, that's nearly half the price I would expect to pay.Sometimes things are not what the seem at a glance.

Yes, we have that Newcastle Brown Ale too, sold in Denmark, Made in Denmark.
I drink "Sapporo Beer, made in Hokkaido, Japan, Imported from Japan" the cans even have the Japanese recycling label so in the shop they have to stick on Danish ones in order to be able to recieve the cans in our machines that return the deposit.
