They likely shove a bunch of melons from Mexico in the same box and hope people won't notice. But I agree, at the very least semi-decent places would list both countries on label, at worst that should be reportable leading to a fine or something.
That happens a lot I find. Apples for example. Sign says “Product of Canada” and then it’s mostly US apples and a few Canadian ones mixed in. Not just on top but literally mixed throughout. This isn’t a case of we got a new shipment and the few (Canadian) left were placed on top of a new (US) delivery! It’s intentional.
Also, lemons always came with stickers. I used to hate these when washing and zesting. Total pain in the ass. Now ZERO lemons (because US) have stickers but all limes (Mexican) do! I wonder why 🤨
The packer is from the Imperial Valley in California (the very southern portion). They have producers in both Mexico and the U.S. (some of the same farmers grow on both sides of the border).
It's common to get a mixed load from two countries.
