Many Milka products are actually made in Belgium

Made, yes, but under license to the brand owner, american megacorp Mondelez. (Much like Coca Cola).

Mondelez owns a lot of brands that you might assume are European. Here is their list.

European-made*

While they're owned by a US company, they're still produced in the EU by EU employees sold on the EU market.

Boycotting these hurts the EU economy, not the US so where should the line be drawn?

Prioritize products that are both made in Europe and owned by European companies.
