The same Kellogg's box, sold in London and in Chicago, contains different ingredients. The London version is missing several chemicals the United States considers food. Things the US permits in its food supply that the UK does not. Chlorine-washed chicken. Banned in the UK and EU on the basis that chlorine washing exists primarily to mask hygiene failures earlier in the production line. Hormone-treated beef. Six growth hormones routinely given to American feedlot cattle. All six banned in UK and EU beef. Ractopamine in pork. A beta-agonist used to promote muscle growth in finishing pigs. Banned in roughly 160 countries including the UK, EU, China, and Russia. Standard in American production. Brominated vegetable oil. A flame retardant used as a stabiliser in some American soft drinks until the FDA finally banned it in 2024. Banned in the UK and EU decades earlier. Potassium bromate in commercial bread. A flour improver. Banned in the UK, EU, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina. Standard in American baking. Azodicarbonamide in bread. The yellow chemical that gives commercial American loaves their standardised crumb. Banned in the UK, EU, and Australia. Atrazine on corn. Banned in the EU in 2004. The second most-applied herbicide in the US. Several neonicotinoid insecticides. Restricted across the UK and EU since 2018. Permitted in the US. Petroleum-derived food dyes. Several are restricted, require warning labels, or are banned in the UK. The same dyes are standard in American confectionery and breakfast cereal. Recombinant bovine growth hormone in dairy. Banned in the UK and EU since the 1990s. Permitted in US milk. The British food supply isn't perfect. The British food supply is, on every single one of these specific lines, ahead of the American one. The argument for buying British isn't patriotism. It's a question of which regulator you trust with what enters your bloodstream. The records are public. The records do not lie. The American supply chain has not earned the benefit of the doubt. Treat it accordingly.

Facts It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.
