Trivially, yes, it is true. You can also find additives that are approved in the EU but not the US. What we're looking at here are additives that fall close to the "safe" line in terms of supporting research, and that's why different regulatory bodies disagree about them. A fair analysis would be "Differences in banned substances between the EU and the US", but a sensationalist quack like Mercola has no interest in fairness or honesty.

The article also includes a section where he says "here are some of the most common food additives to watch out for:", followed by a list of ingredients many of which are harmless (unless you have a specific sensitivity), and most of which are not banned in either the EU or the US. But because of the context in which they are presented, a casual reader could easily conclude that sucralose and MSG are dangerous additives banned in the EU.
