India is known for its diversity and food holds a special place in every Indian's heart. But there are some food items which are widely consumed in India but are banned in some other countries. Here's the list.
Ghee - Ghee is banned in the United States as the Food and Drug Administration believes it may cause heart attack, blood pressure issues and obesity.
Samosa - We Indians love samosa but in Somalia, South Africa it is banned due to its triangular shape that's a symbol of Christianity to the AI-Shabaab group.
Chyawanprash - Chyawanprash was banned by Canada in 2005. Reportedly, the ban was invoked citing that there are high levels of lead and mercury in the product.
Ketchup - The French government put a ban on ketchup due to its excessive consumption among teenagers.
Chewing Gum - Singapore is known for its cleanliness and has restricted chewing gums so that people can't throw or stick them anywhere.
