Rows of banned foods in several countries and reasons

Posted On: March 20, 2023

Bisnis.com, JAKARTA – Each country has its own rules regarding permitted and healthy foods

The reason why this food is violated is that its contents contain dangerous ingredients that can cause poisoning.

Even though this food generates high global sales revenue, that hasn’t stopped some countries from following the rule.

So, what foods are banned in various countries? Here is the list.

1. Fruit cereal

This North American delicacy has earned a reputation for having a fairly high amount of sugar and very little nutritional content.

However, not for European countries like Norway, France, Finland, and Austria, as scientific studies have linked the presence of artificial colors to triggering complications in cell development.

2. Rare Burgers

Many people want their meat cooked rare or semi-raw. However, in New Zealand or England, these foods should not be eaten. Cooking beef medium-rare is not allowed in some countries due to potentially high levels of bacteria in the meat.

3. Skewers

In most cities in Europe, kebabs are a favorite food, but not in Venice. In Venice these foods are prohibited for bad reasons of cultural image.

4. Chewing gum

Chewing gum is banned in Singapore except for people who chew it in public with proof of a proper medical prescription otherwise they will be punished with up to 2 years in prison and a fine.

5. Fat Free Potato Chips

Crisps belong to greasy and greasy snacks and contain a lot of salt. One of the main ingredients in fat-free potato chips is olestra (Olean), which can cause stomach cramps and diarrhea. This makes this food banned in England and Canada.

6. Mac and cheese

Mac and Cheese is one of the most popular kids’ breakfasts in North America. This type of food comes with a sachet of cheese powder. This food is the lowest dish in high demand among children. However, these foods are banned in the European Union, Austria and Norway because they contain dyes that are proven to be harmful to children.

7. Various brands of french fries

Fried potatoes are a common snack in high demand. French fries are easy to store and long-lasting, but they are associated with azodicarbonamides which can lead to complications in asthmatics. That’s why these fries were banned in Austria, Singapore and the UK

8. Sweeter Joy

In 2018, events happened in the United States that changed an entire generation of children. Since 1933, the unjust law has been changed. This event, of course, is the legalization of Kinder Joy in America. It’s been 50 years since Ferrero’s ban on Kinder Joy went into effect. The ban was initiated because the FDA deemed the toys found inside were unsafe for children. Kinder joy is still banned in the United States as it is believed to still pose many threats.

9. Casu Marzu

The fermentation of Casu Marzu softens the firm interior of the pecorino cheese into an almost creamy texture. However, it is the fermentation that gives the cheese its best qualities. The United States and several other countries have decided that eating Casu Marzu is not in the best interests of their citizens.
