When was that? There is compulsory information about ingredients (sorted by percentage, so you readily see when "sugar" is on the very top), France has "nutriscore" which is a A-E scale of nutritional value.

There are strict rules on naming (for instance "100% juice" means that the jucie directly comes from pressed fruit (concentrates are forbidden) and that nothing else can be added).

Attitude? Maybe. In reality? Often not.

No idea why you think nutrition labels are worse and how they factor in "health and safety" when corn syrup is everywhere in the food in the States and 42% of population is obese.

On the other end of the spectrum you have underinvestment in critical infrastructure. For example, dams: https://e360.yale.edu/features/in-an-era-of-extreme-weather-...

There are very few (developed) countries which are as lax about health and safety as the US.

In other words if a country has a higher drinking age, better education, and more labels then that country cares more about safety.

I think that the actions of the population are a better example.

Maybe you mean is "the US government is more concerned about safety " but that could be because the population doesn't care.

To be fair, Germany has a higher rate of people who smoke (around 23% vs 12%)

We have those in the US, too. Granted, they're usually confined to bars, but there's no shortage of bars in the average American town.
