You jest, but I do see the occasional product in the supermarket that is labelled "Product of the EU". But, rather than being required to, this is more to do with the fact that the maker sources their main ingredient from a constantly revolving number of countries and they don't want to have to keep changing their packaging. :)

You thought I was jesting? Not this time. Of course the UK isn't in that pot anymore, so you don't have to worry.

The world paid very high price for their previous attempt at that.

This is probably the pet project of everyone but Germany. You're probably quite confident if you buy any engineering product that says "Made in Germany", perhaps not so if that says "Made in EU" where the EU includes quite a lot of states that aren't exactly known for their manufacturing prowess. :)
Bud:
In todays political correctness era they would not hesitate to slap "made in EU" to everything giving no shit to quality of manufacturing processes in a particular member country.
