Written on a food wrap this
sentence: 'MADE USING EU & NON-EU CHICKEN & IRISH PORK.'What exactly does that mean? Has it any meaning other than saying the chicken could be made anywhere in the worldand we are not telling you but we have to write this sort of gibberish on the packaging.

I've seen the same on a bottle of wine. While living in a community France, I experienced their/our annual retreat, in a diocesan retreat house. For the first two years we had wine "composed of wines from EU countries". The third year, the wine became "composed of wines from EU and non-EU countries". Actually, it might even have said something vaguer like "EU and non-EU provenance" which would not exclude extra-galactic provenance. The wine didn't get better as the years passed.
@Fergus: The question is why one would be drinking something like that in France? It's not as if a decent vin du pays with a (fairly) local provenance costs the earth there!
