EU law mandates listing all the ingredients in the food, you can't pick and choose:

But what does the EU consider an ingredient? Apparently you can just say oil and call it a day. The U.S. is clearly requiring that everything that composes the oil is listed individually. Surely you can see as clear as day that "oil" is not very specific?

Unless you can put it under "natural and artificial flavors and colors" which covers all the things you should actually care about.
