I’m laughing because the EU has far stricter food regulations than the US. The way Americans think about news like this is kinda similar to how we see the US from our perspective here.

The USA and EU both require a full list of ingredients, though.

Cool. But that wasn’t really what he was saying.

You said you view the USA’s regulatory standards as the USA views Nigeria’s but the USA enforces a full ingredient list so that’s kind of nonsensical. If a can of tomatoes went from the USA to EU there would likely be no issue. Even the more chemical sounding names like “Calcium Chloride” salt are commonplace in the EU, in fact I think it was developed there.

I think regulations are better in the EU but you chose a really shit example to use.

But it wasn’t just about ingredient lists but food standards and I literally did not use ANY example at all. Please stop the straw manning.

dumb mf forgets who he is after 27 minutes.

Maybe read the comment & quote I was replying to before you start with the ad hominem projections, because I did not drop a top level comment that contextualized the thread itself but a comment within it. If you weren’t what you accuse me of, then you would understand that, just like literally everyone else did. Otherwise, by your “dumb mf” logic, you could apply the same shit to your own replies towards me and then start to wonder what the fuck you are talking about, when the topic is about the ingredient list of tomato puree.
