As your post pointed out.

the US is more inclined to simply treat contamination of its meat at the end with a chlorine or similar wash.
Why is a chlorinated wash ok for salads? IE includes vegetarians.


Doesn't mean standards in the US are necessarily worse.


Germany has a habit of imposing it's own more expensive standards on the rest of the EU, in order to stop others having an economic advantage. All to do with maintaining the "level-playing field", as with the conditions the EU is still trying to impose on the UK, post-Brexit.
