Canada 'bans' Marmite, Irn Bru, Bovril and Penguin bars

[dan78]

Canada has reportedly banned the importing of British foods including Marmite and Irn Bru because of the additives they contain.

Tony Badger, who owns a British foods shop in Saskatoon in central Canada, said he had lost $20,000 (Canadian) - over £10,000 - when his shipments from the UK were seized.

“My understanding was we were importing legally," he told the local CKOM news outlet. "We’ve been declaring it through a customs broker and we’ve never had an issue until now.”

Irn Bru contains the Ponceau 4R food colouring, while Marmite, Lucozade, Penguin Bars and Bovril are all "enriched with vitamins and minerals" unacceptable to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, according to a letter from the body to Mr Badger.

From NYC like last year, haha, but the idea comes I guess from Canada. Well, probably not, but maple syrup def does!

That's just wrong butters, just very wrong. Pancakes and a poor excuse for bacon with maple syrup.

Replace the pancakes with 2 pieces of buttered toast, proper bacon and HP sauce.

Wash your mouth out.

Obviously English bacon would have been better, but NYC don't do English style bacon, and anyway it was amazing. Must have been about 1500 calories.

Mm sounds darned tooting delicious that.

Watched some video on youtube recently of an all-you-can-eat buffet in one of the hotels in Vegas... was literally about 200m long the kitchen with thousands of things to choose from, all freshly made.

I was nearly licking the screen, was so jealous.
