Wait food poisoning isn't a regular thing in other countries???

It is not. I can't say exactly why that is (probably several reasons), but the US has significantly higher rates of food poisoning compared to other western countries.

This is not a defence of other western countries obviously, merely highlighting that the US is in a league of its own when it comes to being uniquely awful at anything involving regulation.

I am nearly 50 and have never met or heard of anyone getting food poisoning except in American media.
