Poppy Seeds
Prohibited in: Singapore, Saudi Arabia
Justification: Opium content
Poppy seeds, while common in baked goods around the world, are banned in countries like Singapore and Saudi Arabia due to their connection to opium. While the seeds themselves contain only trace amounts of opiates, the association with drug use is enough for these countries to prohibit their importation and use in food products.
