Horse meat

Prohibited in: Great Britain and the United States.
Justification: The meat is unfit for human consumption

There used to be simpler times. In those days, people made their own butter and often ate horse meat. But with the introduction of modern medicine, all this changed, and suddenly eating horse meat no longer became “in”. Because horses are given medication throughout their lives, the consumption of horse meat has long been banned in the United States and Great Britain. According to Smithsonian, the cocktail of medications makes them “unfit for our plates”.

Red Bull

Prohibited in: Denmark, Norway
Reason: Health concerns

Red Bull’s catchy slogan and high caffeine content have made it a popular drink for students, partygoers and video game fans over the past decades. Unsurprisingly, the excessive use of the product has led to many health concerns. These have led to Red Bull being placed on the banned list in some countries.
