Hi,
It's hard to answer without seeing your label. To me if it's a plain label without artwork it's OK without a country of origin. On the other hand if label/packaging design refers to Asia, Middle East, Africa, etc but product comes from the USA, then I would put country of origin on the label.

You must show the country or place of origin for:
- beef, veal, lamb, mutton, pork, goat and poultry
- fish and shellfish
- honey
- olive oil
- wine
- fruit and vegetables
You can label certain food from EU countries and Northern Ireland as ‘origin EU’. Food from and sold in Great Britain can be labelled as ‘origin EU’ until 31 December 2023. Check the rules for when to label meat, fish and shellfish with their country of origin.
You must also show the country of origin if customers might be misled without this information, for example if the label for a pizza shows the leaning tower of Pisa but the pizza is made in the UK.
If the primary ingredient in the food comes from somewhere different from where the product says it was made, the label must show this. For example, a pork pie labelled ‘British’ that’s produced in the UK with pork from Denmark, must state ‘with pork from Denmark’ or ‘made with pork from outside the UK’.
