Ovaltine
Prohibited in: Denmark
Reason: Food safety laws
For over a hundred years, people have enjoyed their milk with the extra malt flavor of Ovaltine. However, the malt powder is not so well received in all countries. One country in particular, in the Scandinavian countries, has decided that Ovaltine is not sufficiently nutritious for its inhabitants. Most foods containing vitamins or minerals have been banned due to Denmark’s strict laws on the quality of food sold in the country. In addition, Ovaltine was unable to gain acceptance due to its abundance of additives.

Marshmallow cereals
Prohibited in: Saudi Arabia
Justification: The consistency of the marshmallows
For decades, sugary, dessert-like breakfast cereals with marshmallows have been filling bowls around the world. However, one country in the Middle East has decided not to allow Lucky and his magical cereal box to cross the border. Since the government of Saudi Arabia believes that the marshmallows in cereals like Lucky Charms and Count Chocula from General Mills are similar to that of pork products, the fact that they also contain gelatin doesn’t help in this case either. As a result, the sugary breakfast cereals have been banned in Saudi Arabia.
