Technically the fish thing…they don’t add colour to the fish meat. Farmed salmon misses out on the natural food that turns a salmons flesh pink, so when farming salmon they add that astaxathin which is normally found in wild salmons prey, into the feed. It’s not a red food dye, it’s the natural colour found in algae, krill and small crustaceans that wild salmon eat but farmed have no access to. They add it to the pellets because a greyish white salmon would not be appetizing, nor what people are used to.
yeah, but the salmon in the video was actually wild salmon, at least thats what it says on the package, so I don't understand how it could have food dyes in it? Or maybe it is just called wild salmon but it still is farmed salmon?
The additive here is red40, not astaxanthin. It’s not banned in the whole EU or UK (but some countries, including Germany, have banned it completely) but it is linked to some health risks and warning labels due to its link to behavioural issues in children are usually required so most companies have switched to alternatives.

@Tobi_in_Miami I looked it up: bleaching flour produces finer grain flour for higher ratio cakes, cookies and quick breads. I still feel confused, becouse I can do all of the above with plain flour too. 😂
@@daniby9894 lol yeah, but maybe if you use like heavy machines and you want to highly automated it might have an advantage. But it is weird, especially they rip out all the nutritions and then enrich it again, super strange.
@Tobi_in_Miami Still, I don't think there's some big baking advantage lies ine that naked flour, otherwise they wouldn't be throwing 20 other ingredients into making a sliced bread in a bag with a long shelf life...
Of course Americans have best values of corporate profits over health/safety and freedom to keep our #1in1st world in diabetes, obesity, addiction, shortest life expectancy, USA#1!
He should go back in and search for all natural stuff. Which is just a little further down the aisle instead of pointing out the negatives. The choice is yours to make whether you want the natural or the garbage. That's the best part about it..
In the US you have more freedom, and you should be able to chose to use plastic cups and bags or not. I don't aggree with tricking consumers though to think that something is healthy and natural and is not, it should be clearly stated so that the consumer can make an informed choice.
Of course do you can have plastic equipment and use them. The big whole seller can't order new or sell if they have empty stock. 😅 Why do you talked wrong stuff? Crazy idiots here on RUclips.
I mean you litteraly cannot get a plastic bag and plastic straws in germany. They make you get this weird paper bags that always rip, I can reuse a plastic bag many times. A paper bag only lasts 1 max 2 times.
All of my local grocery stores here in Brandenburg have plastic bags, and they also have little plastic cups add silverware made of plastic, not sure what you're talking about @@Tobi_in_Miami
This is exactly what I'm saying.They're government restrictions from living life. At least here in the states there's a choice. I'm sure this dude could have gone anywhere else. But he chose to come here. Why is the question..
I love America, and I love the freedom and oppourtunities you have here! And you should have a choice if you wanna use plastic or not! But I don't agree in tricking consumers to think this is a natural product and it is not.
@@alfbeef5880 yes great choices you have. in some states (soon in all of them ;) ) if you get some real problems during pregnancy, you can choose between abortion and then going to jail or you can choose to just die because the doctors won't help you. but hey, at least your government aren't restricting anything huh?
Sorry but in Germany and Europe there is much more freedom ( but much much more) than in the Us..just that here we don't hv to be brain washed to be convinced there is freedom!!
You're comparing Corn Flakes with Special K. Those are two different cereals! The US does still list more ingredients but at least compare the same products.
The ban is for one-time use plastic PRODUCTS, so for example straws, cups, those flimsy shopping bags... Those are banned. But plastic for packaging and of course solid plastic products (garden furniture, pens, etc), still totally legal and common.
the more ingredients are just actually a more comprehensive list of ingredients + the USA has some laws that make it so they need to add vitamins to things like cereal

You can farm "wild salmon" its just a different type of farming. @@Tobi_in_Miami
@ussinussinongawd516 no. Wild is caught in the wild not farmed

Ive seen single use plastics here in Germany.
Pain killers are available in UK supermarkets, so it's not a European wide ban
You're limited to two small packets of paracetamol etc. in British supermarkets.
And yet Germany still sucks.
The flour is of better quality, but final products in Germany, like cookies, often contain large amounts of palm oil
It makes me wonder why do americans need to bleach the white flour? White flour is white anyway...
Yes but America needs to have the whitest flour in the whole world! I think it has some advantages if you bake highly automated

I think instead of just pointing out the differences in the food the video is made to be rude or talk smack about America.
Find a better word than "banned." There's no black market for this stuff. It's simply "not available" because of health concerns.
I think I need a plane ticket. I have food allergies and I've had to give up so many things 😢
Also food dyes are allowed as long as they are “naturally” and have been checked. These will have an E number in Europe!
*fahr mal zu deinen holländischen nachbarn da kannst du auch bei aldi medikamente kaufen*
Plastik cups ,plates , etc are everywhere in Germany . From which Dorf du you come from?

How's your immigration problem?
Of course Americans have best values of corporate profits over health/safety and freedom to keep our #1in1st world in diabetes, obesity, addiction, shortest life expectancy, USA#1!
What freedom looks like.
Is it freedom to use plastic? 😅
@ apparently, and to pollute, USA , #1.
Freedom to purchase some politicians and make even more money.
Vell freedom to have guns in the usa are destroying the country too.
He forgot all the weapons
That probably deserves its own category
Guess IAM not going to Germany
Guess Germany is not too worried...
you won't be able to. you won't survive a day with your white sugar and corn syrup addiction there.
Why is Germany come up with such bad ideas?
in europe.. thats not true! in poland you can buy panikillers in normal supermarkets too ;)
Good to live in Europe! ❤ Nothing is nice in usa.
Many nice things in America not only Germans here but many people around the world that bring many nice things to this great country
The governments in europe pick and choose what you shall Do with your life. At least there's still a choice available somewhere in the world.

always great to call people idiots if you can't even speak proper english. try harder next time.
i wish they were as anti plastic as you seem to believe

You just have to find the wright store. But it is true that plastic straws are hard to find. @@Tobi_in_Miami

@@alfbeef5880but we don't want to use plastic
The no plastic bag thing is a huge pain in the ass. To be honest let that crap go.
I agree! Especially not having plastic bags is a huge pain lol, I hate these weird paper bags that break after using it once
You're comparing Corn Flakes with Special K. Those are two different cereals! The US does still list more ingredients but at least compare the same products.
soooo you say they don't sell plastic...yet i see that majority of items are cowered by plastic....

No wonder the people in Europe are healthier. I hope we, in the US, catch up soon.
Beta wokeness
Americans put up with crap food and plastic
Germany must be a boring country to live in😂
Surely..I like their sense fór having things in order - Ordnung muß sein 😊
The sucky german way of living...boooorriiing😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
it might be boring, but at least we won't have to sell our house to pay our medical bills.
Is not in Germany but all Europe
