European nutritional labels use them (kcal). Where do you live that they don’t?

Exactly. They use a unit representing 1000 calories. They don’t use calories. In the US we use “Calories” which are 1000 calories. Lowercase c calories are just too small of a unit to be useful and virtually nobody uses them.

You misunderstand metric prefixes. kcal is not a separate unit from cal, it is the same unit with a prefix slapped infront
1000 cal = 1k cal = 1 kcal
