Neither did I! That's a very misleading username.

Right... so Campbell's claim to own them but their site points to "Kettle Brands" which seems to be US based.
According to another post they are owned by Valeo. Their site points to Kettle Foods, which seems to be UK based.
I suspect at some point the US and UK parts of the company have been split up, although it's very confusing that they seem to have the same branding.
I'm pretty sure that eliminating DEI is against EU law, so I'm not sure how they are supposed to conform (and, of course, they shouldn't). Maybe sue the US government for breach of contract and move on.
Scanned some random stuff around the house. I find the EU-centric thing a bit odd:
Norway was still in Europe last time I checked. It shouldn't have a big warning for European companies that aren't EU members. Sure; word it differently if you like, but don't dissuade from supporting European companies just because they aren't EU members.
You missed the last bit:
All the KETTLE Chips you get now are made here in the UK, with British potatoes, but our American name is a nod to the adventurer that brought us here!
So they are at least made in Europe, the last bit suggests the US connection no longer exists.
Somewhat confused.
Kettle Chips are British, made in Norfolk. I double-checked their website and they haven't been taken over by anyone as far as I can tell.
Yes that site is utterly horrid 🙁
You're probably better off asking that in the original post - should have some hardcore anime fans there who will know the answer!
WW3 here we come.

I think one of the other parts is more appropriate but they aren't on YouTube.
The issue is more with embedded systems which have been hard coded to European DST.
Most sane software will use the OS timezone and not care about DST. Most sane embedded systems will have some config for DST. I bet there are lots of cranky unsupported things which are horribly broken though.
Also of note is that the Tado integration broke last month, and is fixed in this update. I'm surprised it didn't get a mention.
