A lot of ingredients in American products are banned in other countries. When you look at food products and they have 40 ingredients and only need 5 then there probably is an issue there.
Regulations on production would be similar. Everyone knows organic produce will be healthier than produce that's been sprayed by a crap load of chemicals. Trying to improve that seems like a no brainer and ultimately benefits everyone.

Which particular additives are you concerned with that the EU bans that the US doesn’t.
Red 40 is regularly misstated that it is illegal in Europe. It is legal to use there with labeling requirements. Other products have different names leading people to think they are banned other ones are banned for completely different applications or trade reasons.
So which food additives specifically are you concerned with and is there evdidence to support the harm.
