Irn Bru
Prohibited in: Canada
Reason: Contains Ponceau Red 4R
The Scots love the traditional soft drink Irn Bru, which almost everyone else is unfamiliar with. Whether they travel to the Great White North or at least pack their own supply of the fizzy orange drink, Scots who can’t live without their daily dose of Irn Bru will think twice. Because the colorant Ponceau Red 4R, which is considered carcinogenic and can lead to complications in asthmatics, is contained in the original recipe of the popular soft drink, it has been banned in Canada.
