17 Foods You Can't Buy in Some Countries at Any Price

Every country has its customs and … a list of banned food ingredients. Yep. Things you can always find on the shelf of your local grocery store might be off limits somewhere else in the world. That’s not just a cultural phenomenon, but a matter of health and safety.

For example, in Europe and Great Britain, selling chicken treated with chlorine has been banned since 1997. Since 2010, chlorinated chicken has also been banned in Russia. Farmed salmon is banned from a list of countries, including Australia and New Zealand. Raw, or unpasteurized milk, is so common in Europe, especially in Austria and Switzerland, you can buy it from a vending machine there. However, it’s been banned in about half of the United States for the past thirty years. So you guys might want to reconsider your list the next time you go shopping.

SUMMARY:
- According to the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, cereal bars contain an excess of “toxic” substances, which can have an adverse effect on children’s livers and kidneys if consumed regularly.
- According to a study published in Science Direct in 2016, 82% of all grown soybeans are genetically modified.
- Quite often, the meat of cattle, pigs, and turkeys is produced with ractopamine. Scientists believe that this meat can be harmful for people and lead to cardiovascular diseases.
- Potato chips containing olestra, a synthetic fat substitute, are banned in Canada and Europe. It doesn’t add fat, calories, or cholesterol.
- An inspection conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2014 found that 80% of apples contain diphenylamine. In Europe, DPA is considered to be a harmful substance that may cause cancer.
- The two preservatives many chewing gums contain: BHA and BHT, are banned in Japan and parts of the European Union.
- According to the European commission, gelatin sweets in small cups are extremely dangerous for children because they’re a choking hazard.
- Brominated vegetable oil is the main ingredient in orange colored soda and is a toxic poisonous chemical.
- Certain kinds of boxed pasta, frozen dinners and packaged baked goods contain azodicarbonamide (also known as ADA, E927). It’s banned in Europe and Australia.
- To produce instant mashed potatoes, butylated hydroxyanisole (ВНА or Е320, to make it easier) is often used. The National Institutes of Health conducted several studies and concluded that this preservative is potentially harmful to human health.
- A lot of foods, from cereals and baked goods, to candy and soda, have artificial dyes in them. They do make food look prettier, but they’re produced out of chemicals derived from petroleum.
- Consuming trans fats may lead to metabolism issues, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases. The highest percentage of trans fats are found in margarine.

When Russia bans a cheap conservation method... you should better do it too.

When I moved to France in 1981 I did some research. At that time America had over 1700 additives, colorants, preservatives etc in our food. In France they had 17. You couldn’t get diet foods, diet colas, or sugarless gum until about 1992. There are very few, hard to find food coloring tubes . I colored Easter eggs with spinach, beets etc .

Reading some of these comments affirms that people really don't listen carefully enough. It didn't say that chips are banned in Canada, it said that chips that contain Olestra are banned. And it didn't say that bread was banned, it said that bread made with a chemical called potassium bromate was banned.

[circe]

ever wonder why aspartame has been banned pretty much everywhere besides the U.S.? why, even in Mexico, soda is made with sugar and not HFCS? why glyphosate has been banned most everywhere except the U.S.? why even pet foods of the same brand have different recipes everywhere besides the U.S? answer: GREED.

By the way, in Switzerland we have tough laws for the wellbeing of animals and a state lawyer for animals, defending their rights.

Ok now I need to find a video telling me what I can eat. It will probably be about 30 seconds long

Margarine is one chemical compound away from being- PLASTIC. That's why I always reach for the butter.

[lynnenewell]

I live in New Zealand and we farm salmon! We just don’t feed them antibiotics, grains etc that you mentioned... we also farm them in freezing cold seas around our coast line and we do ban imported salmon as you describe!

[NachoAE]

Living in the USA. Guess I better start a farm and a bigger garden lol

[cynaviles-landau]

A really important one is HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! Why is the USA one of the few countries to allow this ingredient in our foods??!!

[human]

I'm a truck driver, amazing how much chemicals are delivered to food making businesses

Poison is now called food... When money matter more than health.
