Different places around the world have put a ban on different foods, and some of the reasons behind them are actually thought provoking.
From lip-smacking tomato ketchup in France to our favourite Kinder in the US, here few foods that are banned in some countries.
Tomato Ketchup in France
Our perfect companion to fries and pakoras; ketchup, is banned from primary schools in France. They believe it poses a cultural threat to traditional French cooking among children as it “masks the flavor of whatever they are eating.”

The Singapore Statute Chapter 57 in the year 1992 restricted the use, distribution and trade of all kinds of chewing gums. But in the year 2004, due to international pressure the country allowed therapeutic dental chewing gums.
Kinder eggs in U.S
Dating back to 1938, the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of US banned all candies embedded with non-nutritive objects. Hence, the ban was imposed on these little treats.
