A Nigerian woman who wrote an online review of a can of tomato puree is facing imprisonment after its manufacturer accused her of making a “malicious allegation” that damaged its business.
I’m laughing because the EU has far stricter food regulations than the US. The way Americans think about news like this is kinda similar to how we see the US from our perspective here.
You said you view the USA’s regulatory standards as the USA views Nigeria’s but the USA enforces a full ingredient list so that’s kind of nonsensical. If a can of tomatoes went from the USA to EU there would likely be no issue. Even the more chemical sounding names like “Calcium Chloride” salt are commonplace in the EU, in fact I think it was developed there.
I think regulations are better in the EU but you chose a really shit example to use.

The USA and EU both require a full list of ingredients, though.
Cool. But that wasn’t really what he was saying.

But it wasn’t just about ingredient lists but food standards and I literally did not use ANY example at all. Please stop the straw manning.
