Food regulation in the US sucks. In the EU we have both a "higher level of regulation" and it's more effective in most regards. Maybe some food production is cheaper in the US, partly from less regulation, but not by much and you wouldn't know it from consumer prices.

Overall, most of the EU enjoys a high quality of cheap food (yes, it increased quite a bit the last year...) and the food safety is actually higher.
