Local alternatives
Since this product is registered with GS1 Serbia, here are some Kosovo/Albania alternatives in the same category:
EFI Spec i Kuq (EGI Group)
EGI Group sh.p.k., Zahaq, Pejë — Kosovo
EGI Group (Zahaq, Pejë) operates a packing factory for beans, rice and red pepper; its ground red pepper is sold under the EFI mark — the pack shot on EGI’s own site reads "EFI Spec i kuq i bluar", not Pi&Ki, so it is named here as it is named on the shelf.

What this means — and what it doesn't
A GS1 prefix only shows which organisation the barcode owner is registered with — not necessarily where the product was manufactured. The real place of manufacture is on the physical product's "Made in" label.
