Top 5 Foods Banned in Other Countries But Eaten in India Daily

Quick Test: Kya Aap Jante Hain?

Unseen Fashion Tricks

Brace yourself. The next time you bite into your favorite street food or dish, you might be eating something that’s banned across the world.
Let’s dive into what the world says “NO” to — but India devours daily. 🇮🇳🍴

🍬 1. Kinder Joy (Not all of them, but…) – BANNED IN USA

What could possibly be wrong with a tiny chocolate egg with a toy inside?
Turns out — it’s the toy.
🇺🇸 USA banned it under a choking hazard law because it hides non-food items inside food.
But in India?
It’s in every mall, birthday party, and kid’s pocket.

🐟 2. Silver Coated Food (Vark) – BANNED IN AUSTRALIA

That shiny foil on sweets like kaju katli? It’s not just decoration — it’s real silver.
India sees it as tradition.
But Australia and New Zealand say: nope!
Why?
🧪 The silver may be mixed with aluminum or heavy metals.
Too risky. Too shiny. Too banned.

🥤 3. Soft Drinks – PARTIALLY BANNED IN FRANCE/NORWAY

Popular sodas like Coke & Pepsi have caramel coloring (E150d) which contains 4-MEI, a possible carcinogen.
France and Norway have imposed restrictions.
But in India?
We’re chugging it down with samosas like it’s the national drink.

🥩 4. Red Meat Treated With Growth Hormones – BANNED IN EU

The EU bans beef and mutton if they contain hormonal residue.
In India, there’s little regulation — so chances are, you’ve had meat the EU wouldn’t dare touch.

🌶️ 5. High-Dye Street Food (Think: Rainbow Panipuri, Colored Chutneys)

That extra neon green chutney or bright red tandoori color comes from tartrazine (E102) or Sunset Yellow.
Banned in Norway. Restricted in EU.
Still found across Indian plates, plates, and fingers.

🧠 Scary or Satisfying? You decide.
What the world avoids, India sometimes celebrates.
But next time you snack, remember:
Your plate may be illegal in 5+ countries.
