More likely than you'd think.

I think this defeats the cause of Buying South American.

If the country has land in South America it counts.

Does any of these products come from the french Guiana?

I reckon your reasoning is very tongue in cheek. Latinoamerica has a lot of culture and products, there's no need to stretch definitions. And, honestly, it's a bit infuriating that people would do such thing even if it isn't ill-intentioned because there's a history of colonization (past) and cultural apropiation (present). For example, see the history of chocolate or where the biggest current brands reside...

Anyway, I don't mean to flame your contribution but had to share my honest viewpoint..

Cheers.
