LOL, by the way, growing up in Texas around the late 00's in high school, everyone was obsessed with selling Ozark lollipops and trying to get money off of them for some reason, that was my experience. :p
Mumei is referring to a type of red dye made from crushed up beetles. Red #4, or otherwise known as Carmine, or cochineal. It's not banned across the board in the US, at least I don't think, but I do think it's banned in certain parts. Sour patch kids do not have it, rather they have dyes like Red #40, and Yellow #6 and #5, and Blue 1, these are likely banned outside of the US because they're basically made from petroleum and can possibly be carcinogenic.
Beetle-based cochineal also isn't vegetarian-friendly, so it's more likely that in lots of places it's just fallen out of favour rather than been formally 'banned'.
It's mostly the gelatin. We used to use horse bones in our gelatin in the 40's, and becuase we medicate and use steroids on our horses, it contaminated the bone marrow and caused a ban on American gelatin products. We stopped doing it in the 90's and no trace has been found in any gelatin since 2007. The ban still remains though, because it reduces competition.
Mumei is attracted to banned stuffs, adorable. She finds _joy_ in them xD Reminds me of a certain kettle who brings Reese's so much that they thought she's bringing illegal stuffs
@@grimstnzborithbrisingr7296yeah comes from anti-chinese racism in the 90s because chinese food places used msg and the food was so good they wrecked the competition everywhere so the news media pretended like MSG was a poison and if you ate even a single granule of it you would die of a heart attack immediately
The reason suprise eggs were banned in the US is because they violate a policy about not putting not edible things inside food. It sounds alot less ridiculous when you know this. Also they did make a different version for the US market.
yeah that's why they mentioned Kinder Joy. They're somehow different from the regular Kinder eggs Kiara and other europeans like her see on a daily basis. I genuinely don't know what the difference between a Joy and a regular Kinder egg is...
@@Alberich_Prince_of_Dwarves kinder joy are pots shaped like eggs containing mini ferrero rochers and a chocolate flavoured cream on one half, with a toy separated into the other half, kinder surprise (also known as kinder eggs) are actual mini easter eggs made of swiss style chocolate, which contain the toy inside the hollow shell
No worries, they're only banned because they are a gelatin product. Amarican gelatin used to be made with horse bones and the marrow was contaminated because we heavily medicate our horses. We stopped using horse bones in the 90's and they have been safe since 2007. So the only reason some places still have the ban is because they're afraid of the competition. Which is understandable, sour patch gummies are great.
@@TheAllcreatorLiveArchives Sour patch kids don't contain gelatin. They're made of modified corn starch (basically mix corn starch with water and boil it). Rubbery gummies like gummy bears/worms are the ones that contain gelatin. Chewy candies like sour patch kids and fruit slices use modified food starch.
@@thegreatbeaverssugar vs dairy. There’s bad chocolate in Europe as well (much of the fancy stuff can be super overrated due to their sugary content/texture or fillings) but compare cadburys or Lindt (super common U.K. brands) with hersheys and it’s the difference between a soft bite of heaven and a brick of grainy sugar laden brown stuff. The climate and storage expectations of both are vastly different from each other tho.
@@IRMentatI think the big flavor difference has something to do with the production process. Like hershey’s involves butyric acid, which is why some associate the taste with vomit
@@NJAR31298Correct. Butyric Acid is used to simulate the process of aging the cocoa beans, which takes longer and is much more expensive than breaking them down with acid, but it adds a noticeable tang to the flavor. Personally, as someone who grew up eating Hershey's chocolate I find it weird when other varieties of chocolate _don't_ taste like that.
I mean I believe Coca-Cola is still made with Coca leaf byproduct. But that doesn't mean it's toxic or bad, the worst part of any Soda is the corn syrup and sugar.
Europe- Bans American food dyes that may give kids ADHD. America- Bans European candy because it has plastic toys in it and that’s considered a choking hazard. I think both arguments are fair.
Crushed bugs, flowers, gelatine. The gelatin is the main thing and why they are band. Becuase in the 40's we used to use horse hoofes and bones as a basic ingredient in gelatin snacks. But becuase we have horse racing in america and we use horses mostly for labor, we have no problems with giving them steroids and medication to make them stronger and heal faster. But becuase those chemicals were also found in our gelatin, we had to stop. In the 90's we stopped making gelatin with horse bones, but becuase we were exporting them still, a bunch of countries banned any food that used American gelatin. All horse based gelatine hasn't been seen in any gelatin products since 2007 however. It's been safe to distribute. But many countries overseas still keep the ban in place, MOSTLY to reduce competition.
Interesting note: in some Spanish speaking countries there is the word "Buhonero(male)/Buhonera(female)" who were people who sale trinkets between towns.

There are lots and lots of different types of common foods or food items that are legal in one country and not another for reasons silly to serious and they're not always clear so don't read a whole lot into it. For example currants are almost non existant in the US as growing them was until recently illegal in the US due to a fungal blight that tended to be on currants that would kill a particular species of tree that was important to logging in the USA. As such you really don't see as many currant or currant flavored items in the US as you do in Europe.

Gotta love the dichotomy between foods in certain countries banned because of the dye, and foods like Kinder eggs banned in America because we just eat it whole and choke on the toy

A lot of American products are “banned” in EU because our food regulations are a lot more strict. Mountain Dew notoriously was banned in many parts of the world until they changed the recipe in those places, for example.
As an american, I cut down a lot on artifical sweets a long time ago. My parents also made sure I didn't have a lot as a kid. Now I usually drink milk and water, rare occasion some juice or soda. I still do sometimes enjoy ice cream and chocolate.
The dye mumei is talking about is cochaniel it's actually not banned. However Red 5/6 and Yellow 5/6 are banned for health concerns after studies in the late 90s.
when it comes to a LOT of food/snacks/candy. The majour reason it is generaly banned everywhere else, other than the US. a lot of the time, comes down to the food colouring used, like red 40 and yellow 5, bouth wich has high links with cancer and adhd. Tho red 40 is less so linked with cancer, and more linked with skinn allergy development and adhd. you also have the old general use blue food colouring die, that was so strongly linked with cancer development, that is is close to not found anywhere, other than in the us^^
Water spinach, a non-native species commonly found in Asian cuisines, had been illegal since the 1970s due to the plant's invasive nature. Requiring moist soil to grow, water spinach can grow like a weed, potentially consuming nearby waterways and harming native plants.
Eh…E120 (Carmine, the one Mumei spoke of) is not banned in the EU tho…(neither is E124 (Ponceau 4R) since that’s a popular alternative). If it’s reds she might have thought of E129 (Allura Red AC) which was banned in some EU countries and nowadays products using it simply must be marked with a warning on its possible detrimental effects in children or something iirc.
It's because America is some free trade libertarian dystopia where companies can do whatever they want and people consume anything. On the one hand you get to have everything ever and usually before everybody else, on the other most of your food is full of insane amounts of sugar and probably dangerous chemicals banned in other countries XD.

Thats why possibly toxic dyes are used in US foods, because the companies want to use cheaper more colorful stuff for higher profits while also keeping their buddies in the medical industry flushed with customers. Thankfully, the situation with a certain Beer company and Hollywood has revealed their power isn't as absolute as it seems.
The product is not banned, it's the egg shell presentation as it "represents" a risk of asphyxiation on kids who might try to swallow the whole chocolate, you know there's a toy inside and in that specific presentation there's a capsule that contains the toy, the presentation that is allowed is one that half of the package is the chocolate and the other half is the toy
We (US Americans) can't have Kinder eggs because our youth have become too stupid. They can't distinguish food from non-foods. They eat the toys in Kinder eggs, as well as Tide pods, magnets, etc.

Still can't believe Kinder Eggs are banned in the US its so funny xD
Don't underestimate the stupidity of kids.

The product is not banned, it's the egg shell presentation as it "represents" a risk of asphyxiation on kids who might try to swallow the whole chocolate, you know there's a toy inside and in that specific presentation there's a capsule that contains the toy, the presentation that is allowed is one that half of the package is the chocolate and the other half is the toy
It's actually just a specific type. I've seen kinder stuff at stores and I doubt Walmart's trafficking banned stuff
Huh the local Spanish bodega sell them
Red 40 is banned across the world except in the United States.

I brought sweets I’m sorry 😞
We (US Americans) can't have Kinder eggs because our youth have become too stupid. They can't distinguish food from non-foods. They eat the toys in Kinder eggs, as well as Tide pods, magnets, etc.
Canadian Kinder Eggs are banned in the US😊
I'm surprised rice crispies are banned in the EU?
We've had them in Britain for decades, and we were in the EU for most of that time.
