Beyond that, it would be entirely possible for baby formula to be manufactured in the US for sale in the EU, and it be illegal to instead sell that formula in the US.
My experience was on the medical device side, and we had a single assembly line that manufactured devices for EU clinical, US clinical, and Research (basically anyone who wanted one who wasn't a hospital). We started running out of certain parts used on the US clinical product, but it would have been a BIG FUCKING SCANDAL if we had simply shipped the US customer an EU device even though they were basically the same thing.
Yeah, never forget during the baby formula shortage where stock from EU countries that was perfectly safe wasn't allowed to be sold in America.
