Samosas
Prohibited in: Somalia
Reason: Religious beliefs
Samosas have been a part of South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine for many centuries, but in recent years one East African country has decided to crack down on the pocket pastry. It’s worth noting that, unlike many other foods on this list, the reason for this was not related to the ingredients. In the case of samosa, appearance seems to be everything. As followers of Islam, they felt that the three corners of the deep-fried snack were too similar to the Christian symbol for the Holy Trinity, so Somalia’s religious leadership banned the triangular food from the country in 2011.

Citrus-flavored drinks
Prohibited in: Over 100 countries, including the USA.
Reason: Contains BVO
It’s a traditional custom to cool off on a hot day with a refreshing citrus drink. However, not all citrus drinks are a good idea. Some even contain ingredients that cause more harm than good.
