Sannakji (Live Octopus)
Prohibited in: Some parts of the United States
Justification: Choking hazard
Sannakji, a Korean delicacy consisting of live octopus, is banned in certain U.S. jurisdictions due to the risk of choking. The octopus’ tentacles can continue to move after being cut, which poses a significant danger if not consumed carefully.
