Banned and ccontroversial foods from around the world.

Venice banned new Kebab shops and other fast food outlets in an attempt to maintain the city's decorum and traditions it happened several years ago when the authorities passed a law to limit the opening of these types of restaurants with only artisanal ice cream shops being exempt from the band the city's tourism Chief explained that the goal is to preserve venice's cultural heritage and promote local products the concern is that fast food establishments could detract from the city's unique identity and harm the environment Venice is not the only Italian city taking action against fast food Verona and Florence have also implemented restrictions on new Kebab shops and foreign food establishments in 2012 London restaurants were in an uproar after the ban on rare and medium rare burgers had been announced by the Westminster city council they claimed it was for help reasons but some were skeptical one Chef even said that if they stuck to these rules they might as well kiss the burger industry goodbye others worry it's just the beginning and soon we won't be able to enjoy runny eggs or steak tartar either raw and undercooked meat can indeed be dangerous but many believe the authorities are overreacting however with previous incidents like the mad cow disease outbraek.

In mind it's clear the council is just trying to be cautious by the way in New Zealand you can't order your burger rare either all because of some pesky bacteria concerns. puffer fish is a Japanese delicacy that only the bravest dare to try they highly poisonous internal organs for instance the liver contains tetrodotoxin which is extremely toxic this poison can enter your body in multiple ways through a cut on your skin ,when you inhale it and of course if you eat it normally ,people can't stay alive if they eat this fish yet Japanese chefs are trained to

remove the poisonous parts from a

delicacy with a hefty price tag named

Fugu it's almost completely banned in

the US there are only a few authorized

places that sell it and in order to do

so they need to have a special

license just so you know it's not only

puffer fish that has this poison most

octopine and cuttlefish have it

too kasu marzu known as rotten cheese in

Italian is unsurprisingly banned in the

US but hey if you're feeling adventurous

and want to give it a try head to

Sardinia Italy this cheese is made from

sheep's milk and has a little twist

special flies lay eggs in

it maggots have around 40 days to invade

the cheese and then it's left for 2 to 3

months with maggots in it the live

maggots in the cheese help decompose it

giving it a unique texture and spicy

flavor it may be banned in the US but

it's definitely worth a try if you're

ever in

Italy you may think there's everything a

person may want in the US but then bam

one day you wake up craving some hagus

and it turns out this tender dish is

legally banned in the land of liberty

the reason behind it isn't because

Americans prefer mac and cheese or

Burgers but because some ingredients

haggus has aren't considered to be safe

in the US namely sheep

lungs and they make 15% of this dish in

fact there's a full range of sheep's

inner Parts Plus some oatmeal a lot of

minced onions SE and some

broth it's quite crumbly and coarse and

it's also

spicy if the description didn't make you

change your mind get ready for a

transcontinental flight and see you in

Edinburgh sadly haggus isn't the only

Scottish dish banned somewhere in the

world black pudding and other similar

dishes from around the world are banned

in the US due to sanitary reasons

however if someone tells you that people

in Canada went even further and banned

iron brew and Marmite don't believe them

Canadian authorities stated otherwise

several years

ago sorry folks but there simply ain't

enough room in Sweden for both M&M's and

marabu chocolates to coexist peacefully

it's like a Wild West showdown between

these colorful candies marked with the

letter M so who won the trademark

battle marabu chocolates of course

they've been holding the fort since the

1950s while M&M's only Rod into town in

2009 in a twist of fate a Swedish Court

laid down the law in 2016 and ruled that

Mars couldn't sell M&M's with lowercase

M letters on the packaging so if you're

craving some peanut M&M's in Sweden

you'll have to settle for the version

with capital m's on the

packaging the World Health Organization

recently gave out validation

certificates to Denmark Lithuania Poland

Saudi Arabia and Thailand for

eliminating trans fats from their

Foods trans fats are bad for our health

and pretty easy to get rid of making it

a simple yet important nutrition policy

for countries to follow wh now has a

cool new program where they give out CER

certificates to countries that kick

trans fats to the curb kind of like how

they do for getting rid of diseases like

polio and small

poox horse meat is banned in many states

in the US first and foremost for ethical

reasons it's considered cruel to eat

horse meat there however some people

also think there are safety reasons to

avoid this type of meat the thing is HSE

meat is not particularly good for health

due to various toxins found in it

Americans sure do love their salmon but

do you know that the farm raised salmon

in the US gets its coral color from

being fed a keratinoid called synthetic

aanin

yikes this chemical is actually banned

from consumption in some countries such

as Australia and New

Zealand and how about milk we all drink

unless it's specifically marked it's

treated with artificial hormones to

boost milk production the FDA says

there's no difference in the milk but

countries like Canada and the European

Union ban it who

knew chicken in the US gets washed in

chlorine to reduce the risk of spreading

illnesses like salmonella sounds good

right well the UK and Europe think

differently and Bann this practice due

to some unsanitary farming

concerns and let's not forget about the

pork industry using ractopamine to beef

up their livestock while this is common

in the US over 160 other countries have

banned this drug in meat production

quite the difference in opinion

huh the next time you're munching on

those yummy Swiss rolles keep in mind

that the food dies Yellow 5 and red 40

in them are considered problematic in

Europe and have warnings for kids you

got it they're banned in at least two

European countries Austria and

Norway the rest of the countries require

a special label on the

packaging many break based products in

the US like quasa French toast sticks

and pre-sliced breakfast use

azodicarbonamide as a whitening agent

Europe says no to this chemical but the

FDA still allows it it's like a foodie

drama unfolding before our

eyes when enjoying rainbow colored candy

consumers are not only experiencing the

array of flavors but they're also

consuming food F dieses such as yellow 5

yellow 6 and red 40 these dieses have

been linked to negative effects so yet

again Europe requires special labels on

the packaging because those dieses may

have an adverse effect on activity and

attention in kids in countries like

Norway and Austria the die called Yellow

5 is completely banned from

use in 1996 the FDA approved olestra as

a fat substitute for use in snacks and

chips in order to provide guilt-free

snacking

options despite this approval alestra

has been associated with side effects

such as abdominal cramping and loose

stools as well as inhibiting the

absorption of important vitamins and

nutrients as a result the additive has

been banned in Canada and several

European countries next time you grab

snacks to eat in front of your favorite

series make sure to look out for

olestra trans fats such as partially

hydrogenated soybean and cotton seed

oils can even be found in your favorite

coffee creamer yep coffe is at risk too

those have been associated with heart

conditions even though those fats were

officially prohibited in the United

States in 2018 they contined to be

present in the American food

supply in addition to the US several

other countries have also set a strict

limit on trans fats including

Switzerland Austria Hungary Iceland

Norway and

Denmark that's it for today
