BANNED FOOD ITEMS IN OTHER COUNTRIES BUT NOT IN INDIA

We are consumers, and we are consuming various brands, products in a single day. Did you had a thought about the products that whether it is safe or not while using, here we can see some brands or products or service that are banned in many countries but not in India.

RED BULL:

Energy drinks like Red Bull are not good for your body. High levels of caffeine and sugar can be extremely dangerous to the body and have even been shown to stop the heart when consumed in excess. Moderate and occasional intake of Red Bull is unlikely to cause serious heart problems in healthy adults. Still, excess intake — particularly in younger people — has been linked to abnormal heart rhythm, heart attack, and even death.

KINDER SURPRISE EGGS:

Kinder Surprise Eggs, a popular chocolate treat that contains a small toy inside, are banned in the US and several other countries due to choking hazards. The small toys inside the eggs can be a potential choking hazard for young children.

ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES:

Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes are banned in several countries, including Brazil, Thailand, and Singapore, due to health concerns. E-cigarettes are believed to be less harmful than traditional cigarettes, but there is still some uncertainty about their long-term health effects.

FOIE GRAS:

Foie Gras is a luxury food product made from the liver of ducks or geese that have been force-fed with corn. It is banned in several countries, including the UK, Australia, and Germany, due to animal welfare concerns. The force-feeding process is considered to be cruel and inhumane.

HAGGIS:

Haggis, a traditional Scottish dish made from sheep's offal, is banned in several countries, including the US and Canada, due to health concerns. The offal used in haggis can carry diseases such as scrapie, which is similar to mad cow disease.

SHARK FIN SOUP:

Shark fin soup is a delicacy in many Asian countries, but it is banned in several countries, including the US, Canada, and Australia, due to concerns about overfishing and animal welfare. The process of obtaining the shark fins often involves cutting them off live sharks and then discarding the rest of the body, which is considered wasteful and inhumane.

HORSE MEAT:

Horse meat is banned for human consumption in several countries, including the US and UK, due to cultural and ethical concerns. In some countries, horses are considered pets or working animals, and the idea of eating them is considered taboo.

CHLORINATED CHICKEN:

Chlorinated chicken, which is chicken that has been treated with chlorine to kill bacteria, is banned in the European Union due to concerns about food safety and animal welfare. The process of treating chicken with chlorine is considered to be a way to compensate for poor hygiene and animal welfare standards in the poultry industry.

RACTOPAMINE-TREATED MEAT:

Ractopamine is a feed additive used to promote leanness in pigs, cattle, and turkeys. It is banned in several countries, including the European Union, China, and Russia, due to concerns about its safety and potential health effects on humans.

BROMINATED VEGETABLE OIL (BVO):

BVO is a food additive used to keep citrus-flavoured drinks from separating. It is banned in several countries, including the European Union and Japan, due to concerns about its potential health effects. BVO has been linked to thyroid problems and may also affect reproductive health.

ARTIFICIAL FOOD DYES:

Several artificial food dyes, including Yellow 5, Red 40, and Blue 1, are banned in several countries, including the European Union and some Asian countries, due to concerns about their potential health effects. Some studies have suggested that these food dyes may cause hyperactivity in children and may also be linked to cancer.

SHARK MEAT:

While shark fin soup is banned in several countries, including the US, Canada, and Australia, shark meat itself is banned in several other countries, including India, due to concerns about the mercury levels found in shark meat. High levels of mercury can lead to neurological problems and other health issues.
