my partner you want to see that product when he talking
my name is jeff some foods never find their way to your local grocery aisle or dinner table here are
10 foods banned in the u.s cadbury chocolate it's unacceptable the chocolate makes you fat but i've
eaten my share and guess what cadbury has been one of the go-to brands for all things milk chocolate
for centuries even with years of experience preceding them it seems they're not invincible
in the slightest one mistake however made hershey sure they'll never work in this town again
ever ever never according to the hershey company cadbury messed around and wrongfully stepped on
their turf since they did not have the licensing to sell their products in the u.s in the first
place the subsequent agreement between the two companies allowed hershey to produce their own
versions of the chocolates with a modified recipe for the american market hershey's beef with the
rival chocolate company worsened after they claimed some of cadbury's products are just too
similar to hershey's own lineup chocolate lovers across the country were heartbroken by hershey's
decision to sue leading to the inevitable ban of the decadent treats you can still find them
in grocery or convenience stores just not the ones with the original recipe of course this is a
massive letdown for some noting a clear difference in taste between the chocolates from the uk
and the ones back home mainly due to the higher levels of cream and cocoa butter in the british
versions lazy larry where are those oh just some brownies of the pot variety after eating
one of these brownies you can just go ahead grab a pillow and a blanket and say goodnight
the secret ingredient melatonin the hormone in your body that tells you it's time for bed and
keeps you asleep for a full night's rest it's a popular supplement among those looking to
avoid needing 10 alarms to wake up in the morning lazy larry originally called lazycakes thought it
would be a great idea to repackage melatonin as something more delicious than a boring old pill
since melatonin is a supplement it's not regulated by the fda but there's a catch no fda regulation
means no fda approval and that means they're a no go for the brownies they warned the
brownie company about the severe neurological and cardiological health problems their products could
cause there were even reports of kids being hospitalized after snacking on the brownies
containing amounts of melatonin that were even too high for fully grown adults unacceptable
arkansas wasted no time putting an immediate ban on the pastry after rebranding and insisting their
product is a dietary supplement and not a food they manage to keep the brownies on store shelves
but you'll have better luck finding the sleep aid in the vitamin aisle these days
than in your snacks raw milk it's like almond milk that's been squeezed through tiny holes
in living cows mom always said to drink your milk for healthy bones and teeth hopefully
she specified which one because the other might do the opposite and send you to the er instead
raw or unpasteurized milk is essentially milk that's not processed with bacteria killing heat
making it safe for humans to enjoy these are the same jugs you see stocked up in your local dairy
aisle however according to the fda the bacteria swimming around in a tall glass of raw milk can
make you wish you never drank it in the first place poison i made a mistake if infected you
could be dealing with life-threatening diseases like meningitis endocarditis or
sepsis not sure if it's worth that bowl of cereal at that point still many argue pasteurization is
unnecessary and strips away the many vitamins and minerals that raw milk provides some even claim
it's better for people with lactose intolerance the country was somewhat split with 20 states
including florida louisiana and north carolina banning raw milk's distribution entirely while the
rest said they'll take their chances others still allow customers to purchase the beverage in store
or they have the option to head to their nearest farm to get it straight from the source for loco
mama there's a kick like a mule who doesn't like a good energy booster well
in this case not the fda that's for sure what set for loco apart from other alcoholic beverages was
that extra something they added to their formula that extra something being a heart-pounding 156
milligrams of caffeine picture the equivalent of two shots of espresso in each can mixed with
straight liquor it's not shocking that this malt beverage marketed as an energy drink sent many
young people to the hospital that was local but not in an entertaining way state officials across
the country moved swiftly to have the drink taken off shelves following public speculation
authorities made it clear to the producers of the infamous party drink turned health hazard
that caffeine and alcohol should never be combined with the fda sending warning letters and state
governments from coast to coast writing laws to ban the sale of for loco the company was forced
to get their act together they didn't want to risk losing out on future business suffer
legal consequences or have to shut down for loco manufacturing for good by the end of 2010 the
company reformulated the drink removing all unsafe ingredients show your support by hitting that
like button we do appreciate it now let's keep going the show goes on foie gras we'll have the
nothing says luxury like spending up to 80 on organ meat so what exactly is this delicacy
people are willing to drop a pretty penny for simply put foie gras is french for fatty liver
domesticated ducks or geese are force-fed until their liver grows five to eight times larger than
its original size yikes the way it's made was enough to stir up major controversy with animal
rights activists those who enjoy foie gras have a big ethical dilemma on their hands as amazing as
the unique meat tastes the idea of putting ducks and geese through that kind of discomfort began
rustling a few feathers i gotta be part of this [ __ ] though producers in the foie gras industry
assure the public this liver enlargement process doesn't harm the birds california pretty much
said we don't buy it and went ahead to enact the ban anyway eight years later new york had a change
of heart feeling it was time to get on board the foie gras cancel party and move to have it banned
as well growing pressure from activists put a lot of states under fire for not following suit
and prioritizing animal welfare with that said it may be a while before the only way to enjoy the
luxury and prestige of enlarged duck liver is a romantic getaway to france silver sprinkle dragee
i say let them eat cake looking at these small silver balls may have sparked fond memories of
grandma and decorating the cake on christmas day if you were in stealth mode you can get away with
stealing a feud and nibble on as mouth-watering as these sweet little silver spheres are it turns
out they were never meant to be eaten i'm for real i'm for real what gives these sugar pearls their
signature silver color is you guessed it silver not food coloring but real silver plated candy
coating studies show that consuming a truck ton of these little guys can turn your skin a bluish
gray color though there's no clear evidence they cause any harm in small quantities the fda says
better safe than sorry and still advises against eating the silver sprinkles they're labeled
explicitly as non-edible decorations to clear up any confusion about the product's intended use
silver dragees are illegal in california but you can still find them throughout other states in
the baking section of grocery stores and food decor markets online as tempting as they look
on your christmas cookies it's probably a good idea to pick them off after taking that picture
for instagram and before digging in red fish fish are friends not food redfish goes by many other
names like red drum spot tail bass or puppy drum and is an excellent alternative to haddock or sea
bass this fish is said to have a mild flavor which is the perfect blank canvas for fresh seasonings
like lemon and fragrant herbs the already rare commodity can cost up to 36 dollars for one fish
what are your pockets crying yet real redfish enthusiasts will tell you it's worth
every dollar though inflation says otherwise redfish first got its claim to fame in the 1980s
people loved it a little too much so much so that redfish ended up on the endangered species list
it looks like there just wasn't enough to go around with such high demand the u.s fish
and wildlife conservation commission banned fishing for any of the highly sought species
delicacy or not they needed to save the redfish population no matter what luckily for the fish
lovers some restrictions have been lifted but the nationwide ban still exists with the ironically
landlocked state of mississippi being the one exception mustard oil can't imagine they have
good indian food in kansas well i have no idea i've never had indian food the star ingredient
in many south asian dishes mustard oil might be too slippery to get your hands on the next time
you're grubbing on indian cuisine here in the u.s mustard oil will not be on the list of ingredients
experimental studies show the potent and aromatic oil contains high levels of erusic acid animals
have a hard time breaking down the fatty acids produced by it which could lead to cardiovascular
problems information surrounding how this affects the human body and blood circulatory systems
is still unclear to date though some research indicates it might have positive cardiovascular
effects on humans nonetheless the fda says they're not taking any chances with this spicy condiment
and labeled mustard oil as unfit for consumption it's for the best with that being said it may
not be great for your insides but it certainly works wonders on your outside dermatologists in
the tick tock based skin care community can't stop praising it for its anti-inflammatory properties
despite being deemed inedible mustard oil makes for a fantastic hair moisturizer essential oil for
massages and so much more besides the forewarned consumption limitation the possibilities seem
endless bush meat the sandwich is snake meat so sorry to disappoint but this one
sad to say is not about a magical bush that grows meat instead it's about the wildlife you don't
see in your average american supermarket you can find these exotic meats sold in chinese or
african markets and they're an integral part of their local animal agriculture these wild
animals range from bats to rats and even monkeys the various meats are usually smoked salted or
dried before consumption but authorities warn the curing process is nowhere near enough to kill the
bacteria hiding within the cdc raised concerns about the real harms associated with eating bush
meat with reports of it carrying deadly viruses now you probably understand why the cdc is so
sick and tired of seeing the foreign proteins snuck across the american border their practical
and simple solution make them pay easy money right if you're daring enough to ignore the ban
you could find yourself in a financial hole for a whopping 250 000 u.s dollars if caught

changed about the product many were overjoyed to hear the risk factor was removed as the new
shell was separate from the toy shut up and take my money the packaging for the us version
