Regulatory capture at work. The FDA doesn't work for the tax payer anymore. Our regs would look a lot like Euro regs if they did. Glyphosate, BVO, titanium dioxide (taste the rainbow!), all artificial transfats, hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils, ractopamine (pig feed), pink slime, yellow 5, yellow 6, red 4,5,6, and 40, rBGH / rBST (growth hormone for cows), chlorine baths for chicken, atrazine (have some birth defects with your corn)... and the list goes on. All of those things are used in U.S. foodstuffs, which is why so many U.S. food exports are banned in Europe and elsewhere. They're not good enough, or actively harmful. We have food science on these items going back many decades, but Monstanto (now Bayer?) and Dow Chemical throw millions of dollars around to ensure their chemicals still get used on U.S. crops. CA law can be overly picky about a lot of things, but health and safety is one area where they're the good kind of picky.
