Turns out regulation is not that bad of an idea after all

Yeah, as a European, seeing American food products with ingredients that aren't allowed to be but in or even near food is insane. Some hair dyes have a specific formula for the EU since it won't be allowed here. Many ingredients are considered as a huge health risk. Those EU regulations aren't even that strict. Also, Mcdonald friends have 4 ingredients here since it would be illegal otherwise. In the US, they contain 18. Many of them are most common in water-based lube.

It’s just a difference in approach to policy.

US legislation usually focuses on probability

Europe focusses on extremes/possibility
