After the fall of the Berlin Wall and due to the heavy withdrawal syndrome created by the fascist-communist regimes in Eastern European Societies, also cultivated by West's obvious and hidden propaganda of fake 'Freedom' and false, solely Human Values and Gaia's Wealth, unethically, barbarically molesting activities , the Sickening, all-for-Consumption, ''Prada, Guzzi, Trafficking, Coka, South America , Afghanistan'', bellicose 'Dream' ---promoted as it was by the sex/violence satanically obsessed, paedophiliac, ritualistic Hollywood/Music Industry---rendered the Eastern Europeans into a, more than an eager, 'sitting duck', ready for the Consumer Industry, as well as for the Millitary-Industrialist, Nato-ish , et al, geostrategic, warmongering projects.
So, why not to have some more extra earnings from the ‘Dual Food’: Same Western Branding But Low-Quality Goods' sales, since no objections are raised and no laws seem to apply?!

‘Dual Food’: Same Western Branding But Low-Quality Goods for Eastern Europe
Many
multinational food companies have been to shown to be cheating
consumers in eastern Europe by selling inferior products under known and
respected brand names, according to Věra Jourová, the European
Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality.
When
buying a bottle of Coca-Cola in Prague, one would normally expect it
to be the same Coca-Cola for sale in London. But Věra Jourová, European
Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality, stated that
multinational food companies are selling vastly different products
to different countries, but use identical branding on their packaging.

"We have seen the growing
dissatisfaction of people who feel the need to buy things abroad
in order to have fish fingers that will contain fish meat, or orange
juice that will contain oranges," she said.
"The frustration is growing and we should do something against it," she offered, cited by The Guardian.
Double standards in food quality have been thought to exist
for decades, according to the report, but Jourova is now the first
official to speak publicly on the practice.
"We say for the first time clearly:
this is unfair commercial practice. In many cases, yes, I am convinced
[that the law has been broken] because there is manifest cheating," she
said.
Jourova has opted to not name specific brands, angering
many who would take up the banner for change, but she declared that she
will do so if manufacturers do not drop the discriminatory practice.
"I will not hesitate to name the
brands — and even to encourage people not to buy them," she said, adding
"I am quite brave on this."
Several
examples are nonetheless provided in The Guardian's report, however,
including a Slovenian Coca-Cola product with highly-elevated amounts
of sugar and fructo-glucose, compared to the exact same product sold
in Austria.
The report also found Slovenian ‘Spar' yogurt to contain 40
percent less berries than the same branded product sold in Austria.
Other examples include Lidl, Pepsi and Birds Eye, according to the
report.
The issue came into focus for the European Commission
after Bulgaria, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Hungary published
issues with the poor quality of imports from western-based multinational
food giants.
The ‘dual food' issue is being discussed at the highest
levels. In a separate interview from the Guardian, Slovenian Prime
Minister Miro Cerar commented:
"I believe sometimes you can clearly
see the reasons for such unacceptable practices is simply to gain more
profit. This is what the companies usually try to do. But anything
essential for quality of life must be brought under control."
The companies mentioned in the report issued a combined
public statement on the revelations, claiming that differences in the
contents of identically-branded products occur when products are adapted
to fit what they claim are local tastes.
"Our policy is to fulfil consumer
wishes, so each Spar country has its own Spar products; the recipes are
developed in the country," a Spar representative asserted to The
Guardian.
"It is normal practice that manufacturers source
ingredients locally and adapt to local tastes," claimed a trade
representative for FoodDrink Europe.
"We occasionally slightly adapt our beverages to meet local consumer tastes and preferences," stated a Coca-Cola representative.
According to Jourova, the issue goes beyond food and includes everyday products including detergent powders.
After the issue was raised by the European Commission,
producers agreed to adopt a code of conduct — an issue Jourova believes
does not address the root cause of the issue.
"Why do we need a code of conduct
to obey the law?" she told The Guardian. "I have made it quite clear
there are several ways to solve this problem. My ideal solution is
to increase the quality of the food."
"The second best is to rename the brands [in eastern
Europe] so that people are not misled — but that's not my preferred
option," she stated.
