The prize to win is public health. There is absolutely no benefit in putting all this crap into food. Maybe some things are harmful and others are not but they are absolutely useless.
Things like Veggie Libel Laws are very much against the public interest but farm owners have managed to somehow be both rich and adored by the populace so here we are
If they're competing to ban dangerous things in our food supply then the "prize" is a longer healthier life for everyone who lives in any nation that engages in such competition? :shrug:
Lead chromate is a really great color that's not in the food supply (except occasionally illicitly in Bangladesh) largely because it's illegal. Regulation is why food is safe.

Less cancer, mostly.
For that to be true, people would need to be consuming 4g/kg body weight of red dye 3.
Possibly while being a rat.
So the US is winning considering they allow less food dyes?
Well, we might be winning when it comes to food dyes but I don't think it's a clear victory overall.
