I see. This is like Ajinomoto (MSG) is banned in India. 

I've seen a lot of use of tinned food in USA and Europe, I don't think any traditional Indian would like to eat some meat out of box which has months of expiry on it. 

Here in our kitchens, you won't find any items , which are boxed or tinned or readymade that has chemical preservatives. 

If anything you find preserved is pickle, but that too is preserved by natural vinegar.

There are a bunch of chemical additives in American prepared foods that are illegal elsewhere.

What impacts our health the most?

> Illegal.

Really? I didn't know that food that's cooked at home at some place can be illegal at other place. I don't know about eating habits of Americans but people in India are so much addicted to "tea" that they drink it all the time. 

What I believe that it's not good but it's the poor quality of food that impacts our health. Also, not everything is good for health that goes by the name of food.
