This is about a swiss supermarket promoting a german product. The "Swiss company" in the title is the supermarket, the european label is for a german product. It's not about a swiss company putting the "made in europe" label on their own products.

Can I, as a Swiss, get an apology now?

P.S: Flag of the Council of Europe, which Switzerland is a member of

The title is misleading. "Some Swiss companies are using the Europe label." Yes, Switzerland is part of Europe, but not part of the EU. But... you're welcome to join the EU as a full member.
