An odd exception to that trend is dairy products (thanks to the hard work of various US Dairy Councils). Ice Cream, sold as "Ice Cream" in the United States, is vastly superior to most anything you'll find in the rest of the world.

10% milk fat (more exactly 1.6 lb per pre-mixed gallon, but that's simply a bizarre way of phrasing it), no more than half air by volume. 6-10% other dairy solids (lactose, whey).

Compare with the UK: at least 5% fat (no cows need be involved)

France requires 5% milkfat, Germany at least requires the 10% milk fat, but no further requirements.

Canada pretends to be at 10%, but if you add any flavoring at all that can go down to 8%.
