Marshmallow cereals

Prohibited in: Saudi Arabia
Justification: The consistency of the marshmallows

For decades, sugary, dessert-like breakfast cereals with marshmallows have been filling bowls around the world. However, one country in the Middle East has decided not to allow Lucky and his magical cereal box to cross the border. Since the government of Saudi Arabia believes that the marshmallows in cereals like Lucky Charms and Count Chocula from General Mills are similar to that of pork products, the fact that they also contain gelatin doesn’t help in this case either. As a result, the sugary breakfast cereals have been banned in Saudi Arabia.
