Check out what they are:
Ketchup
In 2011, France banned the consumption of ketchup by children and adolescents in order to encourage a healthier diet, but to preserve its famous traditional cuisine, young people are allowed to consume ketchup accompanied by french fries only once a week.
casu marzu
It is a traditional cheese from Sardinia (Italy) made with sheep's milk and fly larvae. The United States banned the sale of this cheese for hygiene reasons, which in itself makes the ban completely justifiable. Meanwhile, in its city of origin, the Casu Marzu is preferably consumed with the fly larvae still alive.
Coke
Coca-Cola is currently banned from being sold in two countries: Cuba and North Korea. The reason? A long-running US trade embargo that has prevented the beverage from being bought or acquired by Cuba since 1962 and by North Korea since 1950.
gum
Singapore is a country known for its cleanliness, which is why chewing gum has been banned there since 1992! Sellers who risk breaking the law can face up to 2 years in prison or fines of up to $1,000.
Kinder Surprise Egg
In the United States, the sale of Kinder Surprise Eggs is prohibited due to the risk of suffocation for young children when eating Italian chocolate. There is even a law in force in the country since 1938 that prohibits inedible objects inside food products.
M&Ms
Sweden has banned the sale of M&Ms in the country since 2016 due to the fact that the logo of the famous American company chocolate balls is similar to the logo of the Swedish company Mondelez, which has been selling the same type of chocolate since 1960.
