Each country has its own laws and what can be safely drunk and eaten in America may be prohibited in Russia and vice versa. Let's take a look at 10 foods that are banned in the United States of America.
Kinder Surprises
Chocolate eggs, so beloved by children in our country, came under attack in the United States. Kinder Surprises were banned not because of the poor quality of the chocolate, but because of the toys that came with the kit. Once an American child choked on a small piece from an egg and immediately a ban was imposed on all Kinder Surprises.
Absinthe
Another product that has been banned is Absinthe. This is due to the high content of wormwood in the drink. The main lovers of this drink are women. They complained that absinthe was associated with a risk of miscarriage during pregnancy. Because of this, he was first banned, and then forced to reduce the content of wormwood in the drink.
Puffer fish
An improperly cooked puffer fish can cause first slow torment and then death. The Americans decided that it would be easier to completely ban this type of fish.
Pommac soft drink
The famous Dr. Pepper invented this champagne-flavored drink in the distant sixties. For some reason, officials decided that the drink was capable of disorienting the Americans and a ban was imposed. Skeptics argue that the manufacturer quarreled with someone from the authorities and the ban became a punishment for him.
Scottish food Haggis
The Americans could not get along with the national Scottish food Haggis. This is most likely due to the recipe. All kinds of internal organs and the lamb lung are put into the ram's stomach. The dish fell out of favor because of this very easy one.
Pork liver cake
Pig liver cake is also on the list of prohibited foods in the United States. The dish was declared unsanitary. Also, the reason was that it contains blood - the Americans did not like it.
Four loko
An energy drink in which alcohol and caffeine are mixed. The US government decided to ban such a murderous mixture. And it was done quite right.
Vegemite Chocolate Paste
Vegemite chocolate spread has been added to the list of products that are banned in the United States. This is due to the fact that manufacturers have added a huge amount of folic acid to the product.
Any meat
If you didn't know, meat that is grown in other countries is prohibited on the territory of the United States of America. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Americans have always been patriots.
Also, any horse meat is prohibited in America. It is not very clear how they distinguish beef from horse meat. Rumor has it that the US government has ordered a special program to detect the type of meat in the AMMI robot assistant.
