Black pudding
Prohibited in: United States
Reason: Hygienic reasons
Traditional black pudding consists of oatmeal and barley mixed with cow or pig fat and blood. The black pudding is then stuffed into a casing and cooked, which is the equivalent of making sausage. It has also been appropriately called “blood sausage”. Blood sausage is banned in the US due to concerns about the cleanliness of the dish. There are simply too many possible bacteria and diseases that could be caught as it is made from the blood and fat of an animal. The FDA also doesn’t like the high fat content of the dish.
