Many foreign countries do indeed use less processing than America, whether because they are less developed or because they have different laws governing the production of food.
India is one example. I have also heard that it is okay to eat “street food” in places like France and the Netherlands when the machine is only used to make a certain thing, e.g. French fries (potatoes and extra virgin olive oil are always kosher and fries would never be served at a state dinner).
