I think you’re right!
Also: someone brought some EU produced wine gummies to a party I threw in the US, and they had been made with a wheat based glucose syrup. GF folks beware.
And if you have to pop into a store in Japan, why not buy a juice?! Although that recently backfired on us. Went in to buy OJ in a little glass bottle. The lady at the checkstand tried to tell us something repeatedly and kept pointing at the juice. We couldn’t figure it out. Then another customer reminded us that there was a ban on selling anything glass during New Years! Oooops! Swapped it out for a juice box. Should’ve picked the candy I guess! Or learned Russian.
