I'd welcome clear labelling.

I can't remember ever seeing anything I wanted to buy that was made in the USA and I always check things because I avoid
made in China or PRC. So not alot of avoiding from me, unfortunately.

I’ve been thinking in the last few days about how, in my small way, I can do something positive help out the UK and Europe in these difficult times. I don’t want to buy anything from further afield unless there is no option. It’s so hard to find out where things are made though!
I need a new Airfryer, and it took me half an hour online yesterday to discover that the only brand made in Europe that’s easily found in the UK seems to be Tefal, which is made in France, so that’s what I’ll get. .
Is anybody else on the same wavelength? If you are, perhaps we could share what we’ve found.
