From chocolate eggs to chewing gum: 13 surprising banned foods around the world

When you are traveling to new countries for the first time you can never take anything for granted when it comes to banned foods.

Different countries have different laws regarding which foods are acceptable and which are not.

Often a food can be banned in one country because of one ingredient it may contain but other countries may have no concerns about any of its ingredients.

As this infographic shows, some of the most unlikely foods are banned by different countries for a whole variety of reasons.

Haggis

For example the Scottish delicacy Haggis is banned in the US, jelly cups are banned throughout Europe and samosas are banned in Somalia.

In the UK you can drink raw milk if you want to (but not in Canada) while Kinder Surprise eggs (chocolate eggs which contain a small toy) are allowed everywhere except the US.

Don’t expect to get foie gras in India or chewing gum in Singapore while Blueberry Nutrigrain bars can be enjoyed the world over except in Norway, France and Finland.

Check out the infographic below to find out all 13 banned foods, the countries which prohibit them and the reasons why.
