What are some popular US foods that contain these eu-banned ingredients?

[@brandonbell5357]

No one knows

[@ax.f-1256]

​​​@@brandonbell5357 Almost All of them. At least in their original US formula. If the product is sold in Europe (like mountain dew) the ingredients are almost always different. Mountain dew in Europe only contains about half as many ingredients as in the US. Quaker oats less than half the ingredients. Sunny D also less than half. Froot loops are not as colorful because only natural colors or proven to be harmless colorization methods are allowed. So they look kind of lame in Europe and less like a high visibility vest. Ketchup also looks different most of the time (slightly less bright red) and it has less ingredients. Subway is not allowed to be called "bread" in several parts of Europe. Instead it's classified as cake due to it's high sugar content. Sprite, DrPepper, Fanta and Coke contain significantly less sugar as in the US version. If you would eat the same product from basically the same company in Europe you can end up having about 1000 (!!!) calories less in the same food. The same McDonald's Menu in Europe would have ~600 calories less on average in Europe. Despite the same product. And the best part: many of those "ingredients" legal in the US are not just unhealthy, might create diseases or cancer, they also make you MORE hungry after eating it instead of less hungry. So your food is not just unhealthy and contains more calories, it also tells your body that you want more of it... And Wonder Bread is outright banned here, because it: a)contains so much sugar, that's it would be classified as cake b)contains ingredients that are used to make Yoga mats spongy, bleach things, create industrial made sponges, create thermoplastic and create epoxy. Some ingredients legal in the US are not even allowed to be used for materials or packaging that just comes in contact with the food. Let alone in the food itself. So even if the product exists in Europe, the company producing it has to change the recipe most of the time.

[@EdwardThatch-ee7yx]

What I have learnt from watching videos such as yours on KZbin is that American food in general is quite awful. It is profit driven rather than quality driven. As a result of this profiteering process, such things as chlorine washed chicken end up on the supermarket shelves. The foul practice compensates for poor hygiene behaviour elsewhere in the supply chain (for example on farms), and that consumers are better protected by a system that doesn’t allow processors the simple ‘get-out’ of treating their chicken with chemicals. gets chlorine filled chicken. American cheese is simply vile and may lead to sodium overconsumption. As such, it may increase your risk of developing high blood pressure. American cheese is high in saturated fat and sodium, both of which may increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. American food in general is ultra-processed and comprised 57.9% of energy intake, and contributed 89.7% of the energy intake from added sugars. The content of added sugars in ultra-processed foods (21.1% of calories) was eightfold higher than in processed foods (2.4%) and fivefold higher than in unprocessed or minimally processed foods and processed culinary ingredients grouped together (3.7%). Both in unadjusted and adjusted models, each increase of 5 percentage points in proportional energy intake from ultra-processed foods increased the proportional energy intake from added sugars by 1 percentage point. Consumption of added sugars increased linearly across quintiles of ultra-processed food consumption: from 7.5% of total energy in the lowest quintile to 19.5% in the highest. A total of 82.1% of Americans in the highest quintile exceeded the recommended limit of 10% energy from added sugars, compared with 26.4% in the lowest. Basically American food is dangerous for your health and shouldn’t be consumed, even if you are dying of starvation. Better to eat one’s own faeces.
