NJ :
are the eu dairy products treated/manufactured/ processed differently or is it labor as well?

No, its because we have chain traceability, for US only the end product needs to be food safe and it can be made food safe through any of the accepted procedures, however in the EU any and all steps of food production need to be food safe, example chicken, in the US chicken meat is allowed to be washed with chlorine to make it food safe, what has gone into the chicken food wise and so on doesn't have to be food safe as long the end product, the chicken meat, is food safe, however in EU the transport of the chickens to slaughterhouse needs to be foodsafe, the wheat given to the chickens needs to be traceable and food safe, the ground the wheat for the chickens is grown on, needs to be regularly checked and again, food safe.

You also lose weight vacationing in Europe because you walk more.

so much of the better parts of Europe compared to the US boils down to labor laws and general social policies. I’m in Europe now and I have 3x the time off as I did in the US and for the first time I can imagine having a family.

I could be wrong but I feel like Europe is also just closer to the manufacturing of food. it needs fewer preservatives because it's traveling less far. getting on a train or the motorway I'll pass farms within 30 minutes at most from the major city I live in.

I worked for a very large yogurt manufacturer and she's right. It's wasn't the hours, 12 was the max, it was the 29 straight days of mandatory work. Had to use a sick day if you wanted a day off.

Thank you!!!! People are so focused on scary chemicals that they completely overlook the REAL reason why our food was so dangerous in the past--labor laws and regulations!!!

I think the fact that in general Europeans have more disposable income and more time to cook at home (due to better work life balance) also plays a part, we are less reliant on everything being quick and cheap. We have the luxury of prioritizing quality

I've worked in multiple food plants and it's not for the weak. I've pulled 17 hour shifts, went home, slept for 3 hours and was back the next day working another 10 hours. It's ROUGH!

Same for Canada. Better labor laws. Better safer food.

Worked in ice cream manufacturing in college on the line...was NOT as whimsical as it sounds. Heavy lifting, constantly wet, the cardboard boxes sanded my fingerprints off and my coworkers periodically got chemical burns from cleaners. After I left they went from 8 to 10 hour shifts. We worked in interlocking 7 day stretches. MEGA respect to food workers.

You have to pay people to care. Minimum wage earns minimum effort, caring costs extra. That’s just how humans are wired. People will take extra care that everything is right if they have the time to do it properly and that effort is valued by their employer. 🤷🏻♀️

I try and be as vocal as reasonable about our labor laws. I feel it’s so ingrained in western culture that people don’t realize it can be so much better, especially with how large the U.S. economy is.

my son worked in a green beans factory. he picked rats out of the truckloads of beans if you want to know how organic runs. (honestly both of them have that)

I worked in a number of food factories in the UK in the 90s and early 2000s, it is super unglamorous, and dull. My favourite thing that happened in all the time I worked in them was when a foreman got knocked out by a falling frozen lasagne that fell off a conveyor

Kickin’ it with Sal :
I’m not sure if the EU is better in any ways tbh. I like to call this notion as European food supremacy. Like you said it’s subjective. Theres so many instances in regulation labeling that I’ve encountered in the food industry where the US actually makes more sense or is more strict (like labeling functional ingredients, pesticides). Like why are we comparing ourselves to Europeans and not the Asians or South Americans, who live just as long. The only answer is marketing and European food supremacy. The Europeans also outsource their food production. They take it upon themselves to eat healthier foods cause they can afford to. Cooking food is part of their culture and they are still making their traditional foods while Americans don’t really have much traditional foods or they take from a bunch of other cultures.

Tyler Wissner :
Work in a company where I handle consumer complaints. I also would say the number of problems seemingly rise as demand rises. Comparing years with raw data looks like it’s held on by a thread but when doing complaints per million it’s roughly equivalent. Very obvious but overlooked when you don’t work in the food world.

The main difference i noticed is in the flour and butter. They use different species of wheat and don't remove as much bran/germ . and their butter has more fat on average.

As a non-American I do not understand the US fascination with working unpaid overtime.

All these comments not understanding that its not the ingredients or food standards its the ability and will to meet those standards. The US has very strict standards and very good food ingredients, but it doesn't matter if its messed up by bad production practices

is it not also our regulations are stricter and tests harder, the allowed contaminates are lower in the EU. Plus alot of fertiliser and pesticide is banned cause it sticks to organic materials.
