    ***gag*** especially on the milk!

    Haha I like seeing Canada on this list but it needs to explain why Canada has "banned" milk from the US...nothing to do with chemicals it's because we have a milk board...

    http://www.cdc-ccl.gc.ca/CDC/index-eng.php?id=3785

    Their mandate is...
    Under the Canadian Dairy Commission Act, the CDC's legislated objectives are:

    •to provide efficient producers of milk and cream with the opportunity to obtain a fair return for their labour and investment; and
    •to provide consumers of dairy products with a continuous and adequate supply of dairy products of high quality.
    Because I can go over to Maine anytime I want and buy milk and bring it in so it's not "BANNED" we just don't import it because it's really cheap and our dairy farmers got their panties in a bunch.

    ETA: I can buy chips made with Olean and US bread so the food is not Banned in Canada we just don't import it and I am sure it has to do with money not what's in it.

    This link might be interesting, here in UK we had a massive horse meat scandal where undeclared for human consumption was sold to food processing factories. Packets labelled as beef were tested and held 29% horsemeat! It's taking a long time for the beef market to recover as a result.

    That said, I do recognize some of these. For example certain colours of M&M are banned in Iceland as part of ban on certain food dyes. But I am not familiar enough with the law to verify each statement.

    Yeah, blue M&M's got banned in the UK too but now they are back and you can even buy a whole bag of just the blue ones :drinker:

    It's not that kind of thread. Context and all that.
