Is EFSA too overprotective? Or is the FDA a threat for consumer health?

In this short, Mathilde Do Chi discusses the big differences between the FDA in the US and the EFSA in Europe. She explains that the FDA often lets products enter the market easily to help businesses make money, even if it means taking risks with consumer safety. On the other hand, the EFSA in Europe makes sure products are very safe before they can be sold, putting people’s health first.

Mathilde shares real-life examples showing how the US system can sometimes put profit over safety, making consumers test subjects for new products. In contrast, she praises the European system for its strict rules that keep unsafe products off the market.

She gives a strong warning to food startups that what works in the US might not work in Europe. Companies need to adjust to Europe’s tough regulations to succeed. Mathilde’s bold insights make this segment a must-listen for anyone in the food industry or anyone who cares about the safety of their food.
