UdenUSA Tops Danish App Store as Shoppers Steer Away From U.S. Goods Over Greenland Dispute

Analysts describe the boycott as largely symbolic given the minimal U.S. share of Denmark’s food market.

Overview

  • UdenUSA, built by Jonas Pipper with Malthe Hensberg, reached No. 1 among free downloads in Denmark’s App Store this week.
  • The iOS app scans products to identify U.S. origin and suggests European alternatives, with no Android version available.
  • A Facebook group titled “Boykottiert Waren aus den USA” has surpassed roughly 100,000 members sharing avoidance strategies.
  • Retailer Salling, owner of Føtex and Netto, reports rising demand for European brands and marks Europe-produced goods with a star on shelf labels.
  • Experts say only about 1.1–1.2% of food consumed in Denmark comes from the United States, limiting any potential economic or political impact.
