France bans Algerian spread toasted on social media • FRANCE 24 English
France has blocked imports of an in-demand Algerian hazelnut spread that became popular in the country after social media influencers raved about it. El Mordjene, which resembles creamy peanut butter, can not be sold in the EU as “Algeria does not meet the conditions for a third country to export products to the European Union containing dairy inputs intended for human consumption,” the French agriculture ministry told AFP.

"Third country"
What?😮
The so called ‘free market’ when you outcompete them and your product is straight up banned.
They should just go back to live in their country if they don’t agree with France laws
So much for these French and European hypocrites to tout free markets
If North Africa banned French products for flimsy reasons, they would be labeled extremists or dictators.
Typical European freedom for you!!!
Dangerous ingredients!
You may turn into a energetic monster.
That's a next level of being petty
Ban all eu product
According to france DRUGS ,ALCOHOL AND NUTELLA IS SAFE but a viral spread from another country that gives them serious competition is bad! As usual FRACE finds DIRTY ways to MAKE UP FOR ITS INCOMPETENCE! Well done france for being pathetic
A tariff by any other name?
If drug dealers can smuggle cocaine and other contraband into France then surely these same criminals can smuggle hazelnut spread in as well.
Liars Liars damn Europeans can't handle something being made in Algeria that is much better than what is being made in Europe They can't handle that and then they make a band like this where they say they don't live up to our standard Of course they live up to yours standards, you just some liars.
Ban French wine then
You can return home if it bothers you so much
France is an extremist state
This is a BS excuse. We all know it.
But, they can't control drugs and cocaine getting into France at all.
😂
They will go to any length to go after legitimate businesses through such bogus means.
🤡🤣🤦🏽♂️
If they like it so much move to Algeria then
Does the stuff found in Asian grocery stores meet the EU criteria? Without social media this ban wouldn't have happened.
