This is the bane of my existence. I am allergic to several extremely common ingredients/preservatives.
I can lead a regular if culinarily boring life if I simply avoid these ingredients. But anything can hide in this phrase "Natural Flavors."
The only way I can know if I am allergic to something is to try it, and even then there are threshold issues and changing ingredients. Just because something is made a certain way today, doesn't mean it will be tomorrow.
I'm curious: in what ways is Europe more 'backward' than the states?

Free speech is one example, through probably not for all european countries. See Germany's defamation laws as one example.

OT. If you want to discuss it off-site, send me an email here: [email protected]
I love America and I think Europe is backwards in many, many ways. This isn't one of those ways. I wish we had European-style food purity laws. The only way to guarantee your food hasn't been messed with or "adulterated" or "enriched" in some way is to skip the stores entirely and buy straight from a local farmer.
