Did a quick search to see if nutrition and ingredients were listed - they weren't. Saw a lot of "our products are super nutritious trust me bro" in their ads.
Actually makes me thankful of all the regulations our food suppliers have to follow in the US.
As a European: lol
I'm not sure what you're loling about, only major difference between EU and USA nutrition labels are the percentage amount listings.
IIRC - USA is a lot more arbitrary and less interested in the customer safety (and open for bribery, sorry I mean lobbying) and USA also has a good amount of stuff for sale that's not allowed in EU.
There's quite a few articles and videos on the subject, but it's been a long time since I read or watched any.
Is the EU better than the US in this respect? You bet.
Can the US do better? Sure.
But the US is definitely far better with food nutrition labels than many countries with unenforced laws.
They both require ingredient lists, though. This specific case could easily happen to either the EU or USA.
