It's amusing to consider how some of the items you consume on a daily basis would be prohibited in another country. However, you may be unaware of items that are prohibited in your own nation.

The following are eight foods that are prohibited worldwide.

Haggis

Although haggis is Scotland's most beloved dish, it is not available in the United States or Canada. This is due to the fact that lungs from a sheep are one of the ingredients of haggis (also known as offal). In these two countries, sheep lung is not allowed to be consumed as food.

The restriction was enacted in response to fears that people would contract "scrapie," a degenerative sickness comparable to mad cow disease. Although lung-free haggis is available in North America, it pales in comparison to the true haggis found throughout Scotland.

Caviar de Beluga

Beluga caviar is an expensive commodity that is not available in the United States. These eggs come from the rare beluga sturgeon and can cost up to $200 per ounce, according to the company.

Because it is so dangerous, the country has severely restricted pufferfish imports. The only acceptable supplier, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (), is a New York importer.

Ketchup

The battle on ketchup in France is maybe one of the more shocking food restrictions in the world. In 2011, France embarked on a campaign to ensure the survival of French gastronomy for future generations. As a result, kids are only permitted to eat french fries once a week with a single serving of ketchup. Not only that, but ketchup is forbidden in traditional French cuisine.

That isn't to claim the ketchup ban is all negative. reports Every day, schools must serve four to five French cuisine, as well as unlimited numbers of French baguettes.
