And in the US you must list all ingredients and all contents of those ingredients, as well as any and all additives (like extra iron, vitamins and so on, even if those come from "natural" sources). You can't just say potato, salt, oil, you have to say: image

Doesn't mean you get different shit, just means they scrutinize it a lot more in the US. There are small differences here and there with stuff like food colouring, but you are not getting "just 3 ingredients in the EU and 99 in the US", that's just a bullshit grifter line being repeated by people who didn't bother to actually read.

    in the uk, the ingredients list for mcd french fries is literally potatoes, oils (rapeseed, sunflower), dextrose (when needed--i.e. early crops that are low in naturally-occurring sugars). salt added after cooking. source

    very much different than what they use in the u.s., which introduces multiple allergens. source
