Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
IIRC - USA is a lot more arbitrary and less interested in the customer safety (and open for bribery, sorry I mean lobbying) and USA also has a good amount of stuff for sale that's not allowed in EU.
There's quite a few articles and videos on the subject, but it's been a long time since I read or watched any.
Is the EU better than the US in this respect? You bet.
Can the US do better? Sure.
But the US is definitely far better with food nutrition labels than many countries with unenforced laws.
They both require ingredient lists, though. This specific case could easily happen to either the EU or USA.
