The UK isn't allowed to list high fructose corn syrup as sugar on labels. America imposes a quota on sugar production to force Americans to use HFC where Europe, not having quotas, has more access to sugars.
The US food laws also absolutely use generalizations–Natural Flavoring is one such example. Castoreum, an extract from the anal gland of a beaver, is often used as a raspberry flavor and is listed simply as "Natural Flavoring" on the packaging of things like ice cream, candy, tea and yoghurt.
There are also examples of synthetic or highly processed stabilizers being listed simply as "fiber" in the US market.
