Europe isn’t anti-science. It’s more proven harmlessness vs dangerousness especially with food and living specimen.

Given the reaction time of politics and the industry I consider that a good thing.

If you want to see strong anti-science look at the current US administration.

When it comes to GMO plants, Europe is anti-science.

European Commission had a Chief Scientific Adviser, but they happened to choose a plant biologist for the role [1]. Then she dared to speak the scientific consensus about GMO plants (they're safe) [2] and EU decided to close the whole role [1,3] to get rid of her.
