"The owner of a British food shop in Canada says he has been ordered to stop selling Marmite, Ovaltine and Irn Bru because they contain illegal additives."

Enriched with vitamins? OH NO. (I honestly don't get that one. The other stuff makes sense, even if it's ok elsewhere - not like there aren't things here banned in the EU, and we have something against Vegemite and Kinder Eggs.)
- Jennifer Dittrich
There's a place close to my house that sells Kinder Eggs. So far no one has said anything to them.

The FDA doesn't allow food items to have non-food items in them, which is why Kinder Eggs are not legal in the US—apparently, American children have the problem of swallowing the toys, unlike all other children on earth.

" "enriched with vitamins and mineral" - we could enrich the product but does this mean its healthy ? e.g 2000mg of sodium per day is upped to 4000mg /day.. (enriched) would that make u healthy or unhealthy ??
- Peter Dawson
Pah... you can still get the stuff. I know a guy ;)
