> EU labels are not required to list as much information about nutrients in a product as compared to US food labels. Plus, they often omit such items as saturated fat, fiber, and sugar.

Those aren't additives, it just means you don't need to breakdown the nutrients label it doesn't change the additives.

So the things you have brought up doesn't seem to be the reason USA has so many more additives listed on their products. If you give a single example of an identical product listing more things in USA than in the EU and how these regulations influenced that I could trust you, but as is what you say seems to just be a meme.

> what you say seems to just be a meme

The biggest meme now is hating the US while glorifying EU despite in-your-face evidence that justifies a contrary attitude.
