MIRABELLE PLUMS

U.S. import laws have kept these yellow plums out of the states. Currently this plum is only grown in France.

MARGARINE

Margarine in the state of Wisconsin is banned! School, prisons, and hospitals forbid margarine from being used in their facilities. It makes sense their banning margarine, being that Wisconsin is the dairy state.

KINDER EGG SURPRISE

Kinder egg surprise chocolates have been banned in the U.S. since they were manufactured in the 1970's. Kinder surprise eggs are chocolate candies that contain toys. They were banned because of the possible choking danger it posed to children. They are widely popular in Europe.

SHARK FIN SOUP

Selling and possessing shark fin is banned in nine U.S. states. These states include Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, California, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, New York, and Massachusetts. This is mainly due to the conservation to shark populations.

HAGGIS

Since 1971 there has been a ban on Haggis in the U.S. The reason being, Haggis contains sheep lungs, sheep liver and heart, and other spices boiled into a sheep's stomach. This delicacy can be found in Scotland.

JUNK FOOD IN SCHOOLS

Junk food has not been banned in all states at schools but many have chosen to keep a more healthy cafeteria for it's students. This ban took effect on July, 14th 2014.

BLOOD

Remember that popular television show on HBO called True Blood that took place in Louisiana? Well, Louisiana has banned people from drinking blood in their southern state whether it be human or animal. This act was passed in 1989, way before Bill and Sookie came to be.

RAW MILK

For some of you who may not have known, including me, raw milk is sold in some states. This "raw milk" has come from cows, sheep's, and goats. Since this milk is not pasteurized, it has a danger of containing harmful bacteria that can contain E. coli and listeria. For some of you who do not know what listeria is, it was the stuff that kept shutting down Jenny's ice cream last year. Raw milk is currently prohibited in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia.

PEANUT BUTTER

It may surprise you to see peanut butter on the list. However, there is a rise in peanut allergies now a day's so all school's around the states have banned peanut butter to prevent any unnecessary allergy attacks?

Did any of these banned foods surprise you? Let me know in the comments if I missed any!
