This is what I'm taking about. Processed foods in America that are not supposed to have sugar (they are salty, for example) still have added sugar - then more salt to hide the sugar. The EU bans this; only allows it when it's necessary to make the chemical reaction -- like a wee bit of sugar to feed the yeast in breads.

That's not to say we don't have sweet processed foods -- obvs we do.
