Food safety regulations are more strict in the US than in europe. I'm not american, but the US FDA is very powerful and does not really mess around, the point where it's actually a bad thing. The horse meat scandal probably couldn't have happened in the US, at least not at the same scale

Well you can argue both sides than. I think the FDA is going overboard with their requirement to wash the poultry in chlorine.
As an add-on there's this oddity that the EU eggs cannot be sold in the US, due to the ban on washing them, and vice versa.

Novel food additives are always approved in the US first and there are more types of additives allowed in the US to begin with. This is an extraordinary claim that requires evidence.
