We’re no strangers to foreign versions of products: Mexican Coke, British Cadbury, and more. Some of these international versions have gained a major cult following, often hailed as superior to their American counterparts. But why do these products taste different, and what does it say about our food regulations?

In this video, we dive deep into the ingredient differences between foods in the US and elsewhere, uncovering surprising facts about what goes into our snacks. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The real story lies in a 1997 ruling by the FDA that opened a significant loophole in food safety regulations.

    OK, so: the biggest difference between food regulations in the US and the EU/UK is this: currently the FDA will allow any food additives unless they are proven unsafe. In the EU, manufacturers have to prove something is safe before they can add it to the food

    Gastrointestinal cancers for people under 40 are rising in the US, even when accounting for increased cancer detection rates. Maybe this is part of the problem.

    Sad. Happy in Spain customers help regulate by their choices. If you sell "gazpacho" (a very popular cold vegetable soup, sold in bottles in the "cold" section of supermarkets) and it contains anything other than a number of vegetables and salt and vinegar, NOBODY will buy it. It does not work with all foods, but generally the US has to go away from "food products" and people buy foodstuffs again.

    Seems like the FDA needs to add more regulations and close up the loopholes. It is always funny to me since companies would add about anything without considering the consequences for the consumers that buy there products.

    Beer is the same way the UK, Germany and Canada have Purity laws that the USA doesn't like, hense why you can't buy unadulterated Canadian or UK German beer in the USA!

    Korean Doritos and Cheetos are terrible. They are both weirdly sweet and taste very little like the American originals.
