https://www.tilleydistribution.com/insights/food-regulations-in-europe-vs-the-us/ https://www.tilleydistribution.com/insights/food-regulations... The European approach to food additives is visible. The EFSA assigns a 3- or 4-digit code to every food additive, and that number must be included on food labels if it’s used in a product. The EFSA believes this system makes it easier for consumers to look up and memorize specific additives. In the US, those same additives are required to be printed out in full.

That's not stricter, it's just different names.

  It is stricter. https://www.daymarksafety.com/news/some-fundamental-differences-between-food-labeling-in-the-us-and-europe/ https://www.daymarksafety.com/news/some-fundamental-differen... EU labels are not required to list as much information about nutrients in a product as compared to US food labels. Plus, they often omit such items as saturated fat, fiber, and sugar.

    > EU labels are not required to list as much information about nutrients in a product as compared to US food labels. Plus, they often omit such items as saturated fat, fiber, and sugar. Those aren't additives, it just means you don't need to breakdown the nutrients label it doesn't change the additives. So the things you have brought up doesn't seem to be the reason USA has so many more additives listed on their products. If you give a single example of an identical product listing more things in USA than in the EU and how these regulations influenced that I could trust you, but as is what you say seems to just be a meme.

      So Europeans have Kryptonite biology where nutrient content doesn't matter for their health? > what you say seems to just be a meme The biggest meme now is hating the US while glorifying EU despite in-your-face evidence that justifies a contrary attitude.

    Lol we, even you, talk about additives and then you bring up nutritional content of the food itself. Do you even understand the topic discussed? It certainly doesn't seem so, or you have an agenda to serve, for whatever reason. Or are llms today having most of computing power diverted into pretraining new version? We do list all of that, but thats usually a separate table, or if not a separate bloc of text. Its always there. Posting random webs scraped by llms ain't providing facts and personal experience to discussion.

      Maybe you are the one with an agenda. > nutritional content of the food itself Maybe Europeans have a superior alien biology where nutritional content of the food itself doesn't matter. Rest of the world has human biology where nutritional content of the food itself matters.

    What's more full of shit? FDA approved food or this guy?

      Thanks for citation and logical discussion. Always good to engage in such discussions. I think some folks are full of shit so that nutritional content of the food itself, like mentioned, in a parallel comment doesn't matter much for them, but for rest of us with normal biology it does matter unfortunately.

Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 requires the vast majority of pre-packed foods to bear a nutrition declaration. It must provide the energy value and the amounts of fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt of the food.
